| Snake Paisley |
Leah Day gave us another permutation on a pivoting paisley to practice this week. At first I couldn't tell the difference between Snake Paisley and the prior week's Lava Paisley. The difference is very subtle and has to do with the original shape that is echoed. Lave Paisley has one sharp point and one rounded end, where as Snake Paisley has two sharp points.

I chose this very pale batik to practice on. I will be using it in the sky portion of an abstract quilt I am working on with a working title of Out on a Limb. It could just as easily be used for water, since the Snake Paisley design looks like a lake stirred up by a gentle breeze.
Yours looks so nice! Your right! it does look like interrupted water!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Danielle.
DeleteI would have never thought to use it for sky or water, but it looks (and works) fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Pat. Part of the fun of FMQ for me is selecting the right texture for different elements in my artwork. I needed water/sky for something I was working on this week. What a delight to discover that Snake Paisley created little pools and chops of water.
DeleteIt looks great on the pale fabric. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThank you. An advantage of quilting on a fabric that basically reads as a solid is that the texture of the quilting is much easier to see.
