Moonscapes
70" x 52.5"
Hand dyed, batiks, and commercial fabric, machined pieced, appliqued, embroidered, couching, heavy hand beading, polymer clay cabochons and buttons, chunks of turquoise, agate, and various yarns/threads, I created my own fabric by machine piecing and appliqueing hand-dyed fabric, batiks, commercial, and Guatemalan fabric together and then I cut out circles for the moons and created the background fabric by the same method. I did extensive hand beading and adhering chunks of turquoise and picture agate with beads. This quilt was inspired by photos I took in Escalante, Utah and images viewed through the Oculus Quest-virtual reality system of outer space and our moons.
