I belong to a Ukraine quilters association. I wanted the opportunity to partner with someone from another country! We are both in love with fabrics! It is pure joy when you can learn new things and share your experience. I'm glad that fate introduced me to Rhonda from the USA, a remarkable person with a creative mind! There is much in common, especially a great love for animals. We shared photos of our work. For creative people living in different parts of the world there are no language barriers, thanks to the Internet .I had an amazing opportunity to experiment, improvise, and apply my knowledge and experience with color, light, and composition. To achieve artistic surface effects, visual and tactile result with the effect of drawing and painting, and mosaic, I applied my own idea of embroidery with textile bekes. This technique comes from my own straw thread embroidery. We decided on 18"x18" with a picture of something (as an animal) symbolizing our country, with other things representing where we live. I love Ukrainian folklore and fairy tales. I chose a character from the popular Ukrainian folk tale "Impudent She-Goat ". I used Ukrainian ornament, beads, a wreath of dandelions and cornflowers with ribbons, with Ukrainian peasant huts – symbolic of Podillia, where I live. We will continue to communicate after this project is over. I am looking forward to meeting Rhonda Denney.
