Glue Resist Works

This painting is done on silk using Elmer's clear glue as a resist (white lines) and is machine quilted. The glue is applied using a fine metal tip on a squeeze bottle and allowed to dry. The silk paint is applied, salt added for mottled effect. Once the paint is dry & heat set the glue is removed bu soaking it in room temp water for 10 minutes or so. The piece is allowed to dry & is pressed with an iron, then machine quilted & finished. This painting is about 15 inches square. There will be more of this type of paintings to come.

Tribute to Laurel Burch

This king sized quilt is made from 6 panels originated from artist Laurel Burch. (now deceased) and borders & drops from coordinating fabric, also Laurel Burch. I had it quilted (king sized is a little big for me to do), although I did make the pillow cases to go with the quilt. The black & white cat on the bed is real, one of my 6 total.
