My May Interpret This! Piece
was posted this morning, so now I can show it here--
'In the Pink'- 18" X 17.5"
Wholecloth, painted with Setacolor transparent paints and bleeding tissue paper, fusible applique
I really had fun with this one. I've used the tissue paper before, and enjoyed the results. I was hoping that the tissue paper would stick to the fabric so I could just quilt through it, but no such luck- it started peeling off while it was drying outside.
A couple of detail shots so you can see the neat effects the tissue paper gives-
I had fun with this one, the colors make me happy, and I succeeded in getting the sense of movement with the quilting lines. And I love the fact that I finally did an abstraction that definitely references the photo without being literal- without strip piecing!
Now go take a look at the Interpret This! blog and look at the others that have been posted. The reveals go on all this week- it's always such fun to see how different the finished works are.

This is just beautiful! I love the colors, especially how vibrant they are. Did you really use tissue paper to color it? Is that permanent? It is a really striking piece. I love it!
Love those colors -- May looks like that here in WI.
