Hello everyone!
Today's my turn with the Art with Fabric Blog Hop.The hop is hosted by Alida from Tweety Loves Quilting - you can go to her site to see all the amazing art created by those who joined in.
Our brief was - to make a quilt or fabric/fiber object inspired by a specific piece of art.
The theme is: My favourite colour.
I chose Greens as my favourite colour and then more specifically - Turquoise.
The pinks just seemed to add a little punch, so why not....
This time around I chose the artist MC Escher. A Dutch graphic artist (1898 - 1972).
His work with Tessellations really fascinates me. I love geometrics that form a secondary pattern too, so tessellations seemed to be a great fit.
A tessellation is a 'tiling using one or more shape with no overlaps or gaps'. Its usually a repeating pattern.
This is MC Escher's 'Horseman'
Totally awesome!!
Here is the "Penguins" image that I used from Escher, to make my tessellation project. I had to first find the original square or the repeat and make a pattern to work from.
and here is my Penguins mugrug (10" - 26cm) and is really easy to sew. I used up every piece of Turquoise scrap that I had. The pattern also includes a 'mirror' image where you can then make one or a block of them.
You can download a copy of the Penguins HERE....<<<<
I'll leave it up for the rest of the week.
I'll leave it up for the rest of the week.
I also made myself a 16" (42cm) tessellation of this 'Johns Tessellation'.
