Taking up a UFO

You might remember the quilt I started a few years ago. I called it the "Museum Quilt" because it is about symbols, as they can be found on ancient artefacts, and partly are authentic, partly invented.
I took working on it up again, after finishing my latest quilt, because I thought it should be continued.
A divine couple, partly taken from very ancient pottery
A Japanese calligraphy from Rayna Gillman's stash

Critters out of Wanda Hansen's scraps
Mountains that Yael Eshkar gave me
I apply the korak method which allows me to connect the pieces rather informally. It will be full of stories from long forgotten times -- or modern whimsical fiction --, when I'll finish it.
Coming back to an old task (this one was started about 3 years ago) can be quite inspiring.

The Quilt Walk

 A bright and shiny day, just perfect for a walk. Yet, it is not really warm any more, during the nights, temperatures are just 5-6°C (41-43° F), and at daytime, they hardly go beyond 18° (64° F). The wind is pretty icy.
 "Looks like Chernobyl", said my husband. He was carrying the object I intended to photograph.
 We went to a small lake near our home.
 What is shining thru the quilderness?
 Or creeping over a quillow?
 It is a just finished object of textile art.
Showing its reverse down by the water.
My husband was very helpful displaying the object which is only 2 layers thick on some spots, so the sun is really shining thru and the colors are as you see them, no help of digital remastering.
The hedge is just right to display the full format. And here is the artist in full format.
Thank you for walking with us!

Binding Finished

... and I'm dashing into bed. Tomorrow is our National Day, we'll take a walk and I want to take better pictures out in nature. So expect nicer colors tomorrow!
