This wall hanging incorporates some unusual materials. Hardware stores are as interesting to art quilters as are fabric shops. I thought it looked like clouds and air - one of the four ancient elements.
Element
The blue area at the top and the orange at the bottom are painted translucent organza. They extend slightly past the sides and bottom. I also painted the hardware cloth (a type of wire mesh) and wove strips of the painted organza through it. The rectangular base fabric is a poly-cotton material which does not fray (sometimes used for curtain linings), which I painted and stamped.
There is no batting in this quilt. The diamonds are my hand-painted cotton fabrics, pieced together and then appliquéd onto the base. The wire and netting were then hand-stitched on top.
