This month's Fast Friday Fabric Challenge was, as usual, interesting. The challenge was to find product packaging to use for the color scheme, create a still life based on nature, specifically plants. I'm not so sure the still life objective was met, but I had fun working on this. I manipulated a photo - cropping, applying filters, turning into a sketch, and replacing colors, then drew the sketch onto fabric which I then painted and quilted.
The product packaging was Cheez-It crackers, sometimes found at my house. Red and orange are very appealing to me lately. Abstracting from photos is always fascinating to me. All in all, creating this little study piece was fun, satisfying, and a good start to the new year.
