Morning Flight

Morning Flight: 11 X 19 This collage panel is just a backdrop to show off my beaded butterflies. I have use many elements like hand painted fabrics, yarns, angelina fibers, and a lot of free motion stitching using metallic and varigated threads for dimension. Ribbons are incorporated to dramatize the implied directional motion. The colorful blue green background spotlights the orange and yellow elements. I used polymer clay to make the sun figure, suggesting morning. Lots of sparkle in this one. Click on image for closer look.

Kansas Beauty

Kansas Beauty: 26 X 26 I started out with a center piece of hand dyed fabric for this wall hanging. I was a newby at making art quits and a newby at quilting also. I decided to paint a sunflower on the center block and then, made some dimensional leaves for interest. From there it just grew with colorful borders, embellished with a little sunflower trim. For many years I just hid this away in my closet because I felt like I was out of my element. Then, suddenly I uncovered this and saw it's charm. Now I love this and will put it up for exhibit. #mixedmedia This can be purchased through The Polish Pottery Shoppe 100.00 See more of my work on www.facebook.com/judyfergu/ plus shipping.

Serenity

Serenity: Cloth, Paper, Metal and Paint. This 10 X 14, Mixed Media piece is another experiment in abstract design. The background is from pieced fabric, that has been free motion quilted and then painted with acrylic. The tree is made from artist metal, that was mounted onto black felt; and then embossed with embossing tool. The embossed design is then stitched with thread. All other elements are made by using fabric, hand dyed papers and glue, on brown paper. Sections are cut out and glued to background, using fabric glue. The textural feel of this work is almost impossible to capture in a photograph. I plan to work on this process more, as time goes by. More experimentation is required.
