I have been flitting hither and yon madly shooting photos. I have taken photos of some wonderful eye candy lately in a variety of subjects that range from men, to flowers, to farm animals, to machinery. Why you ask?
I am taking a 2-day David Taylor workshop at the end of the month. This workshop, incidentally, is the same time as the quilt show I mentioned in this post. Follow the link to his website, you will be totally blown away by his work. Now realize, this is not going to be a fast project since all the applique is by hand. Yes, you read that right -- by hand. The only embellishment is the quilting.
And so, I am doing some pre-work by pulling fabrics, poking buttons for background fabrics, the color of which is not apparent in this photo, and ordering an11x14 print of the actual photograph. I figured out how to tile-print my photo so I can do that and then get my tracing -- all before workshop even begins. I am hoping that by doing enough prework I can get right down to the stitching in class.
Can you tell what the subject is of the photo?
Coneflower(Echinacea)?
ReplyDeleteDelicious colors...you are sooo right!
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be an awesome class. I think it's a purple coneflower....great photo!
ReplyDeleteI have to work on my photo taking technique! Or learn alot more about cropping and pixels and that sort of thing...
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I'd love to take a David Taylor class some day! The photo is beautiful. I'd love to do a color palette with it.
ReplyDeleteThose colors are great! That has to be the inside of some type of flower...
ReplyDeleteLooks like Echinacea. That will be fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWOW... (I remember seeing his balloon quilt in Houston.) his quilts are impressive.
ReplyDeleteWow - he certainly does do amazing work. What a wonderful technique to learn! I figure it is a flower. They certainly are beautiful colors.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing a flower - but I sure don't know what kind. Have fun in your class!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh...I wish I could go with you to the class. I hope you have a great time and will be watching to see what you bring home. I go with a cone flower for the picture too.
