I attended a workshop with Sue Duffy https://ratherbequilting.wordpress.com
She won Best of Show in Queensland a couple of years ago. Does amazing work.
Used water colour pencils and thread sketching - thought this chick had a dinosaur leg.
Placed on the background with the lily pads, the chick doesn't really look out of place. Have yet to finish the applique. The hen & chick have been trapuntoed (is there such a word??).
Sue's piece - we could choose this one or another piece - similar theme.
Detail of Sue's piece - can you see the reflections in the water?
Sue's piece - the bird is called a Jacana (for those who need to know) and it lives on lakes around Brisbane (& probably other places too) - big feet to 'walk' on the lily pads, also known as the Jesus bird! It was a great workshop - now I have to finish it...……………..
I've seen jacanas at Kakadu, but they don't come this far south.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it would have been an interesting workshop. Sue's work is beautiful.
