The light bulb that went quilt

A fiber art quilt, that just hit me as a good idea.

Do you remember my earlier post about that light bulb moment when you are suddenly struck with an idea which excites you? This art quilt came from that kind of moment. I think you remember what I’m referring to. You may have given much thought to a project and everything you came up with fell flat. Suddenly, a really, really good idea pops into your head, a this it !Eureka!’. I don’t about know you, but I find it very hard to work on an art quilt that I’m not excited about. I’ll put off starting it, and when I do, I lose interest and put off finishing. it. I ‘ll find every excuse in the world . I love making fiber art. I could work 24 X 7 on it, if the idea is inspiring to me. Where does inspiration come from? Why do we have a great idea just hit us, bamb out the blue? If anyone has a thought on that subject, share your thoughts. I’m wondering if we’re all inspired in the same way? Do you think it might be something that we saw or heard a while back, that lies dormant, until it just pops out? Let us know your th0ughts. Here’s my light bulb moment art quilt, that I made with my “wonderful’ fabric. I’m calling it my light bulb quilt.

About Myself & My Approach Art has always played a role in my life, in one form or another. by my teens I had narrowed my focus to painting. I decided I was going to become a serious painter. I joined the Las Vegas Artist's Guild at 15, the youngest member at that time. I was completely out of place, I tried to go unnoticed, a mute fly on the wall, with a big smile pasted on my face. I've continued to paint most of my life. After a move to Oregon years later, I was introduced to quilting and fell in love. I was introduced to quilting & fell in love. In time I missed the creative freedom painting made possible. Then I discovered mixed media fiber art, I was home. MY APPROACH TO ART It's the creative process that holds the greatest attraction for me. Starting with a tiny seed of an idea; vague and blurred around the edges, I follow where that leads. There are often many changes and adjustments along the way. The result can often be surprizing. My approach is an instinctual one. Generally, I do little pre-planning. I make creative decisions, choices, directions as they present themselves. This approach can lead to quite a few changes in the direction. I love that element of surprize! Sometimes I have one that I especially like, I can't wait to show someone. At that moment l feel like a six year old, running home from school, a drawing in hand, excited to show Mom. At those times. I'm smiling like the Cheshire cat. I’ve had some of my work published in several magazines. which is exciting. But the most gratifying thing is having clients be really happy with their purchased art quilt.
