‘Zesty, Bright and Spicy’ – 2024.02.17

The next Fibre Art Network exhibit is called Narrow Works!

There are more than 40 pieces in the exhibit. Each artwork is 9½” wide x 19½” long, mounted on a 10” x 20” black canvas. There is no specific theme – Artists are encouraged to create “a smaller signature piece, one which highlights WHO you are as an artist, which takes you to your happy creative place . . . using your favourite techniques, colours, designs, and textures!”

Here is my artwork – ‘Zesty, Bright and Spicy‘

I created a design of vaguely circular shapes. The background is a small piece of linen fabric I had been hoarding for a long time, which was the perfect size for this exhibit. I used several of my favourite brightly coloured fabrics for the shapes. I fused them to black acrylic felt, then quilted loose, sketchy lines with black thread, and trimmed the felt closely to leave a narrow black outline. I attached my quilt to the black canvas with carpet tape. (I find it less messy than glue or matte medium.)

Here is a detail shot.

I am very pleased with my piece. I think I have successfully made a “signature piece, using my favourite techniques, colours, designs, and textures!”

Thanks for reading. I’m linking up with Nina-Marie’s Off the Wall Friday.
