Another challenge I entered was one
about using text in art. Since my
daughter was away at college in New York, we could stay close through texting,
and I used that idea for my interpretation of the challenge.
Inspired by the ‘LOVE’ piece of the 1960’s by Robert Indiana, I chose to
create a whole cloth design using the letters CO for Colorado and NY for New
York. My piece is titled ‘Closer Than
You Think’.
I created the text in Photoshop Elements
and arranged them in a fashion similar to the inspiration piece. I then used the paint bucket tool to fill the
letters and the background spaces with colorful patterns. Since the piece is small enough, I was able
to print it on fabric using my home inkjet printer. I stitched around the letters and also the
designs within. The piece was selected
to appear in the August/September 2013 issue of Quilting Arts.
