Tend Our Earth- Will We Cry When?…silk art quilt

This is my latest hand painted silk art quilt. I longing for Spring, are you?

I hand painted this original silk art quilt. The flower, dragonfly and jaunty little precariously perched bird were hand painted and then appliqued on. Then I used thread painting to add details, to the flowers, the dragonfly and the other features. I’m so proud of my little dragonfly’s wings that were made entirely with thread painting. Here’s the pics:

The painting and the quilting are beautifully done. The detail in the close up of the flowers is so rich! Nice work!

Barbara Harms Fiber Art & More

Barbara Harms-Up Close and Personal I'm a fiber quilt artist, working in mixed media. I come from an “arty” family. I inherited the family “arty gene” & have been involved with art my whole life, painting most of it. I had despised in my early teens to be a serious painter. I joined the Las Vegas Artist's Guild, their youngest member at the time. I was totally out of my league, a teen, in a room of adults. I tried to avoid being noticed, a kid in a room of adult artists, I’m pretty sure they noticed. Being exposed to all those serious artists, was a great experience. So, there you have it, the "glorious" beginnings of my artistic "career"! I've continued to paint for most of my life. I was introduced to quilting after moving to Oregon and instantly fell in love it. It was new and exciting, I jumped in with both feet. As enjoyable as I found quilting, I began to miss the creative freedom painting affords. Then, I discovered fiber art quilting, I was finally home. My Process & Approach For me, it's the process of creating that holds the strongest attraction. I love starting with a tiny seed of an idea; vague and blurred around the edges, then I follow where it leads. My style is fairly loose and instinctual. The choices and decisions that come up as I work on a piece, are made based on my gut feelings. This can result in quite a few changes in direction. This approach can lead to many changes in the direction. The outcome can come as a surprise. I love that element of surprise. Sometimes everything just comes together & I think that this is one of my better ones. I can’t wait to show someone. I feel like a six year old, running home from school, a drawing in hand, can't wait to show Mom. At those times I'm smiling like the Cheshire cat.
