I’ve been working on several new projects recently. Here’s one I’ve finished. It has cheerful bright color and thread painting also a smaller size with a smaller price tag.
I’ve had an idea in mind for some time. At one point I tried it out, but didn’t follow through and it fizzled. But it’s still a perfectly good idea.
We all have different budgets, needs, and priorities. Obviously, not everyone is
interested in owning an original art quilt,
It’s impractical for them, they have more important priories.
However, some would really love to own an original art quilt but it’s slightly out of their budget.
YES, YOU CAN
If this second group found original work that they loved and if it was priced slightly lower, it just might interest them.
I’m going to include more variety on my website and Etsy shop.adding some less expensive work from time to time. I’m working on several wall hangings in this category as we speak.
Original art within the means of most people, that’s a good idea, don’t you think? My next post will discuss this further and also introduce another idea that I think you are going to like. Hope you keep an eye open for it. Custom made art quilts that are so beautiful the price will shock you
About Myself & My Approach
Art has always played a role in my life, in one form or another. My family is filled with many artist's, so my love of art came naturally.
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've continued to paint throughout my life. On occasion I've sold my work, but I had more important priorities, I was raising my children, part of that time as a single parent.
My circumstances have changed, the kids are grown and I have more time for Art. Art is a form of therapy for me.
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.
My approach is an instinctual one. Generally, I do little pre-planning. I make creative decisions, choices, directions to take as they present themselves.
This approach can lead to quite a few changes in the direction the quilt takes. The outcome can come as a surprise. I love that element of surprise!
Sometimes everything just comes together & I think to myself, "this is one of my better ones". when that happens, I can’t wait to show someone. I 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 work published in several magazines., which is gratifying. But the most gratifying thing is having clients be really happy with their purchased art quilt.
