The 12 x 12 group topic this time was "Whimsical" ......."I
love turtles". Of course I had to eat the chocolates first :)
I then heat
shrunk the wrappers and attached to black background fabric for the body of the
turtle. That cost me a few needles, let me tell you! Head and legs are also of
black fabric with copper painted on for contrast to the dark background. I drew faintly on the background where I
wanted to place the turtle, then attached the heat shrunk cellophane (floral
wrap) to show bubbles in the water. Also
the background is actually 4 small pieces of my hand dyed gradation fabric sewn
together. After the "bubbles"
were sewn down, I added the quilting lines.
And finally I added the turtle, binding etc.
Now...... where did I put that other box of
chocolates.....
