Shining Era


by Lin Hsin-Chen
I have been fascinated with a series of eye-catching colors recently. They are so special, attractive and dazzling. Neon pink, yellow, and green colors are flaunting themselves before us and showing their vividness. People look breezy in them and young people look stylish in them. Then, how about creating a quilt with neon colors?

According to what I look up on internet, neon colors are popular in 2012 and 2013. What if neon colors, sequins, beads, buttons…or any other shining materials show up together on quilts, will it reveal quilts’ distinctive charm? As an artist in this ever-changing era, it must be very interesting to challenge new materials and catch up with fashion trend.


So, in the second challenge of V9-3, please create within your theme and use “neon color fabrics and sequins, beads, buttons…or any other shining materials”. The vertical dimension should be 42”, and please choose your horizontal dimension between 18" and 54"). Happy creating!
