This is a photo of the sun rising on the Sea of Galilee. It was taken by one of the photographers who accompanied us on our trip. I want to interpret this with fabric.
I painted this silk shantung organza last summer.
I rotary cut it into strips which I laid over a reddish orange dupioni silk. I want some of the dupioni to show through and look like the sun reflected on the water.
I then laid a layer of green tulle over the fabric pieces.
Then, the tulle gets pinned down. I am running out of pins. I bought a new package, but I can’t find them!!
Once the whole piece is assembled, I will stitch the heck out of it. This piece will be about 28″ X 38″.
oh, and peace and strength to your loved one
ohh, that’s just glorious sea….really, I love the colours and the kind of rhythm of the water you have going there.
Love that sunrise, and really like what you are doing with the dupioni and the tulle. Can’t wait to see how you progress.
I have never ever seen a sunset so golden!!! It must be even more breathtaking in person!
This is looking very good, Gerrie. Good idea of how to show light reflecting on the water.
Beautiful inspiration photo and I love the way you’re interpreting it in fabric. Can’t wait to see this one progress!
Beautiful! The painted pieces on the dupioni — perfect for water.
What a wonderful sunrise! Looks like you’re hard at work and being very productive. Exciting news about your daughter promoting her new book. where will she be doing that. I’d like to get copy too.
The water is perfection.
What a glorious piece this will be. Wonderful fabric.
Oooh, this is going to be soooooo pretty! I love the energy you seem to have for making this series. I’m sure it will be wonderful when all the pieces are done.
