art quilt about snow

stark black winter trees
brown grasses show through the snow
sky glows apricot

The Daily Haiku #5 speaks for itself. I used the Cat's Eyes again for the background, felt tip markers for the trees. I wrote the text on a piece of parchment with a Sharpie pen. The first line is a challenge to read.



My work on the post Monday reminded me of a quilt I made about the snow. It's one of those elements of nature that constantly inspires me. This has giant snowflakes appliqued of the background material.

Seeing a sturdy bird's nest on a branch over the road during a blustery early spring snow storm was the inspiration for "Winter Vignette". I've never been happy with the nest. But,the background evergreens(appliqued) and the maple (also appliqued) were successful. I used the construction in another quilt, which I'll post later.


Although I am missing the daily Haiku, today's would look much like this entry.
