The Making of Mother's Tears July 3rd - July 7th, 2002 |
I took a picture of myself with my digital camera, using the self timer, and converted it to a black and white drawing. |
I then sketched on fabric the outlines, then painted in Setacolor paint. |
The central painting was then surrounded by blues and greens from my hand-dyed cottons. The wavy edges were inspired by the edges of continents on the earth image. |
Then I trimmed off the excess to make the final organic looking shape. |
After quilting and binding, then added the teardrop glass beads for the Mother's Tears. |
