Artist: Kris Bishop, Woodbridge, VA
Working with designer fabrics of metallic, satins, velvets, etc...was my goal in this piece. I used a lot of stabilizers in using these fabrics.
I chose the letter "G" for my hobby of gardening. I wanted to depict my side flower garden in this fiber art piece.
I used many different techniques on my Illuminated letter quilt. Besides using many fancy fabrics that I have been collecting over the years, I hand painted cheesecloth to use for some of the leaves. I also used different textured yarns, beads, crystals, etc...
