Barcelona Mosaic


Whilst searching through all the amazing pictures of art and architecture; it was the incredible mosaic work that fascinated me.

And I have wanted to make a whole cloth quiltlet for a while; as well as doing a project using the Derwent inktense pencils. This seemed like the perfect challenge to put all of this together.

So, I quilted the flower pattern, and then coloured it in.

I think ... I am happy with it. Nice and bright.

Chloe, I love this tile piece and the shading on the mosaic pieces is just wonderful. It could not be more perfect!

Chloe, They way you have shaded this block makes it look almost 3D, lovely colourful piece.

Kathryn said...

as others have said, the shading really makes this piece special, but I also like your technique of creating the image by quilting and then filling it in.
