New reveal and a Journalquilt

New reveal and a Journalquilt

On september we revealed our latest challenge with Latitude quilts, WILD, and my contribution is called Jokulsarlon.
This time I decided to go abstract, and to revisit a theme I have played with before. In Iceland, there is a lake  filled with floating mini-icebergs from the nearby glacier. It is called Jokulsarlon, which means «glacial river lagoon». The lines, colour and texture are really fascinating. I painted some fabric in this wonderful green-blue kind of colour of the glacier, cut it up and pieced it together again, and layered it with a polyester kind of fiber, usually used in scrapboking, some of which were manipulated with heat.
I quilted it all with parallell lines and framed it with a simple black binding.

And some close ups:

I also have a Journalquilt to show you. This is for September and is based on the one we made in July, but making it transparent. In this I’ve trapped painted newspaper, Lutradur and silk scraps:

Sorry for the delay

It’s been a long time since my last entry, I know. But I have been rather busy. Among the things I have made, are some more Journal quilts, like these:

And I signed up for another year with Ineke Berlyn, this year with a focus on landscape:

Tomorrow we have a new reveal with Latitudequilts, http://latitudequilts.blogspot.no/
with the theme chosen by me: LOVE.
A little teaser from my sketchbook:

New Journal Quilts
Published 4. september 2013

New Journal Quilts

I have finished two new journalquilts. Both are inspired by flowers in my garden, this time the gorgeous Meconopsis Betonicifolia.

Jeg har fullført to nye journalquilts. Begge er inspirert av blomster fra hagen min, denne gangen hovedsaklig den fantastiske Meconopsis Betonicifolia.






Welcome

I love to make things. I like knitting in the evenings, and tending my garden. I love to work with fibres, to colour and shape things. I find great inspiration in older Japanese design, the art of Hiroshige and Hokusai being my favourites. I also dabble a bit with bookmaking, binding my own sketchbooks to play in and fill with my research, as well as making textile books.
