Every year Swancon (the Perth Science Fiction convention) is held at Easter. Every year there is an art show and this year for the first time I decided to enter it! I don't consider myself much of an artist (although I was in an art exhibition at uni, which was a laugh) and I entered this one in the spirit of things with a couple of themed quilts.
The first one is a bit of a laugh and was great fun to make - square in square with the central spaceship material being 3D! That's right 3D! And it really worked. Looked more hologram like to my eyes but there was a definite effect. The glasses made the wilder patterned material jump out too. Whoa! :)
The second one was a Manga/anime themed improvisational quilted wallhanging which I called "Thunderblossom" after the main character. I love the rich gold metallic which is throughout each of the materials in this one.
It's on its side here but you get the idea...
Anyway they have now both gone to good homes, where I hope they will be loved and enjoyed.
