devine verdigris

the  first trade of yet another year of glorious color in

Arts in the cards is on .

 this year we got to put in our color choice. i said puce and verdigris.

 verdigris was choice for January so i thought i would jump right in.

i love the blue/green colors of various metals left to weather.

 think of Miss Liberty statue and her lovely patina. 

I  have a lovely old lamp with such a base in that coloration.  

 

many plants and vines fall into that charming category as well.

 

i painted and over painted fabric for backs and coffee filters for fronts with all sorts o paints and glimmers i had on hand,

i fused a peltex layer between after they dried.

next day i sat at my trusty Bernina 830 record and free motion quilted away

the rainy afternoon.

 a bronze/blue edging over a zigzag stitch was the last step.

 i  have put them in a small tree for a photo before addressing them and sending out.

  

 

i think they would make great book marks if i re sized them to about 2"by 6".
