Baby Elephant Strut Art Quilt

Hanging Art Quilt measuring 28 inches wide x 40.5 inches tall.

(insert a dowel & hang with provided hanging pocket: dowel NOT included)

$600 plus $36 s/h.

This art quilt is created with tiny pieces of batik material cut and raw edge appliquéd then free motion quilted to become a beautiful addition to any wall of your home.  The reference image was taken by photographer Animals by Tazi who takes photos which she gladly shares with artists (for a fee of course:).   The photo is turned into a paper pattern where I concentrate on the values (lights and darks) and how they will translate into material.    The darks of this piece are navy and indigo with purples, pinks, and grays to round out the elephant.  Created solely of batik materials.

Batik cotton materials are known for their vibrant colors and I use them exclusively in my quilting artwork. Small pieces are carefully cut and rough edge appliquéd to create a painting in the material. I then layer the pieced top with cotton batting and a coordinating material on the back and free motion quilt the piece together, adding a pocket along the top edge in the back to insert a dowel (NOT included) to hang the quilt for your viewing pleasure.

I hope you enjoy this art quilt as much as I enjoyed making it!

Created in my smoke-free studio in Liberty Station San Diego, CA.
