Ideas/inspiration for Peter


GOOD EVENING PETER: YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE












Above are three images of Canadian First Nations artists works that I have recently interpreted in textile form or am planning to interpret. The first one is one I will likely do very soon, as the colours are calling to me and are so appealing.


The other two, Norval Morriseau's Boy with Birds and the Daphne Odjug - mother and child, Serenity, have already been sold, but can be repeated.



Below are three first nations hand painted drums which I would like to incorporate into a quilt using a black background - I think it will be striking.



Lastly, the piece I am currently working on: called Birds and Fish by Laford this will be displayed in an art gallery in Victoria British Columbia in April/May of this year.

Now to more traditional quilts: above is a brilliantly coloured quilt I made as a commission last summer - I have enough fabric left to repeat this one for you - it is approximately 40 inches square and would brighten a wall beautifully!



I mentioned amish-style quilts in an email to you - below are some examples and ideas.




If you look at too many quilts at once, it will usually cause you to become confused by the wide variety of options. These ideas will start things moving. Let me know if and when you wish to see more.
