Another time another place

A couple of weeks ago I went to an exhibition in a museum in The Hague. It was about Paris, city of modern art in1900-1960. Back then, when you were an artist, Paris was the place to be.
So my another place is Paris, where art changed and became more abstract.
The picture of the eiffeltower (1926) made by Robert Delaunay was resized on the computer before a copy was made. Then the copy was crumbled to make the paper more soft. Then it was ironed onto vlieseline.
So putting in paper was easy... My new technique was using plastic, and honestly: I dont think it was a great idea. Then machinequilting, and I added some paint. I am not totally done with it, but running out of time.
Best wishes for the new year to all of you!

Wow!It looks great, plastic and all.Do you not like the plastic because you don't like plastic in quilts or was it too difficult to sew?

I love the design of this piece. The red strips hanging down and the silver running across them is terrific to my eye! Very modern look that mirrors the "drawing" of the tower! I give it a big whopping WOW!!!

Great piece, Marloes! Very dynamic, especially with the superimposed drawing.

Very striking Marloes. I love the deconstructed edge of your quilt and the visual layers you created.

This is fabulous, and I really like it, especially the strips running off the edge.
