Description:
This quilt was made for my grandson who is an avid diver. I am making one wall quilt for each of my six grankids on subjects of their choice. "Researching" sea life ,I found a fascinating range of colors, textures, shapes. There was no way I could replicate all this realistically. So I decided to go for the "feel" using many techniques - a dye painted sea, crochet elements, heat gunned knobbly shapes, applique, beading etc. Also using a range of fabrics - hand dyed cotton,net, lace, organza and so on.
It hangs now on the wall of my grandson's apartment. I was touched when he told me that it is the only thing he would grab and run with if there was a fire or any such calamity !
