Art Rocks--"RIFT"

 This is my piece created for the November challenge themed "rocks". I've had this image on my computer for several years waiting for the right occasion. I took the image in my son's yard then layered it in Photoshop elements with a background texture. I used black Eco felt for batting. The piece measures approximately 10" x 8".

Art Rocks!

Our theme for the November meeting was "rocks".

Two of us actually remembered to bring our challenge pieces to the meeting!  If anyone wants me to add their piece to the post, just send it to me.


BeBe's hubby took this photo in Yosemite National Park.  She manipulated the photo and added some jade to make this heart rock.






Serenity Rocks! is a pattern I was testing for friend Carol.  It is one of those rock cairns to which hikers add a rock as they pass.  It is a serenity thing, a moment of reflection at a point of beauty and inspiration.






 Judy showed a new technique using a transfer sheet called Terial.  It was easy to print on and had a soft hand in the finished piece.

It is a mailbox!










 Judy's Words uses several techniques including photo manipulation and gelli printing.  It was created for an exhibit featuring Elvis songs.





Judy uses painted canvas bits and pieces in her creations.  Here is a canvas she has created for future pieces.








 Judy brought last month's apple as a finished  piece.






Construction materials were exchanged.  Can't wait to see what that becomes.






 And then there was a parade of purchases from the Houston Quilt Show.  Oh, yes.  Silk and linen love!
