Kitsch
Lizz Ploppert
My first thought when I hear Kitsch is Flamingoes or bug-eyed Cat Clocks! I went pink!
And as a Celtic Knot quilt is still on my "quilt bucket list" this theme worked out
well for me. A square format might have shown better but I'm happy with the batik
background. Kinda watery! And the gaggle of birds seem happy enough! I gave thought to a
rainbow of birds to make their necks easier to follow but in the end kept to traditional pink.
I found another roll of TimTex so I'm good for several more little quilts - I love the crisp body
TimTex gives these little quilts. And of course I used Heat n'Bond Lite for fusing. (Another fave product!) Baby buttons for eyes and ta-da! A frolicking flock of flamboyant flamingoes!

I thought about bug-eye cat clocks as well and almost went that direction until glittery peacocks smacked me upside the head!! Love this idea of putting your flamingos in a celtic knot!!
ReplyDeleteCeltic flamingoes - love it, very clever.
ReplyDeleteThis is great with the intertwined flamingos which are definitely kitschy!!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous! The design is almost mind-blowing and I love the fabrics you chose. To me, this design could be very successful commercially and several animals could be interchanged.
ReplyDeleteThey look just like those in the zoo. I have pictures of flamingoes and their necks are always intertwined.
ReplyDeleteVery clever Lizz. I love the Celtic knot necks.
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing a synchronized swim team of flamingoes. Love the Celtic knot idea. So clever.
ReplyDeleteVery clever, cute little flamingos though.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is cool! I really like the symmetry of the intertwined birds.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love it. Twining the Flamingo necks for the Celtic knot was inspired. How did you ever think of it?
