Music - Carol B

Communication – I thought what better way to communicate then with music? Music is the universal language and is understood by all. It communicates feelings and thoughts and brings them to everyone who listens. What better way to interpret communication, I asked myself.

So I started with the idea of Gregorian Chant. An old and not well known form of singing, and the voice is the instrument of communication. There are many forms of chant, but this one I heard at an early age and enjoyed the sound. To depict chant, I put it on an interpretation of an Illuminated Page for a manuscript, and of course used the letter “C.” It could be for the word communication or my name!

Other modern musical notes were added using fabric I have had for years and of course, circles – because everything goes around and comes back to you.

I appliqued most of the piece by hand, fused some, embroidered the heck out of it, machine stitched some and added beading too.

I also posted this for Off the Wall Fridays which I like to link to.

New Challenge Word!

First, please accept my apology for mistakenly posting my Interwoven quilt on the 14th instead of the 15th.  I think I'll pick the middle of the day to post from now on and I should be okay.

The majority of our glorious Interwoven challenge pieces have been submitted and once again I marvel at the diversity, skill, creative interpretation and thought provoking stories underlying each art quilt.  These stories truly enhance the viewers visual intake and understanding from the artists perspective.  Great job Maven's!

Our next challenge theme is  Communication, which can and no doubt will run the gamut of possible interpretations.    Have fun and try something totally out of your comfort zone.  I look forward to that reveal in March.
