I saw the eyes a few weeks ago. They were at the very bottom edge of an old quilt. I knew my vision was the beginning of a new Fabric Painting.
The design of the quilt is called a tulip. If you look carefully you can see the quilted stems and leaves. (although they’re upside down now). Since the moment I saw the quilt I thought I was looking at vulva’s not tulips.
It’s that old flower vs vulva argument I guess.
As I cut the section of quilt I wanted to use for the ground of my Fabric painting, I saw that the eyes fit perfectly in the quilted diamonds. And the tulip/vulva made a perfect third eye. (turn the quilt on its side and the tulip/vulva becomes and eye itself.)
I’ll finish stitching the eyes, lavender this time I think, because of a dream I had of a friend with beautiful, sparkling, lavender eyes.
After that I’ll see what comes next.
YAY! I recognize that quilt. It always reminded me of hot air balloons but somehow I knew it was for you. What fun I’ll have watching it come alive.
And thank you Linda! I can see the hot air balloons too! It’s so many things. And it is perfect for me to work with. Thank you again!
