Going green

Green is not my favourite colour, but I have been having fun playing with the many variations of this colour. Taking my garden as inspiration I dyed cotton fabric for a first layer and background of my design. My garden is in need for some care and attention, but I never seem to be home long enough.

Along the way I discovered a lot about this colour.

These are the first steps to completion. All will be revealed in April!
 

Bubble Tea

Bubble Tea

26"W x 41.5"L

Pearl or bubble tea is a drink that originated in Taiwan and is popular in my neighbourhood. I am always amazed and surprised by the variety of flavour and jelly combinations available, for example taro milk tea, green apple or lychee with pearls, rainbow or mango jelly.

The neon colour challenge encapsulates the variety of colours displayed on the drinks menu.

Materials; cotton, batting, thread, textile ink, fusible, cord, beads

Techniques; hand painted, hand couched and beaded, machine applique, machine quilted



Better in colour

The world would be a dull place without colour and a touch of neon is so bright and pretty. Miss 5 must have thought so too as she played with my i pad.

Interesting to see the world through the eyes of the young. Thanks Hsin-Chen, I have had a lovely time with this challenge as I love bright colour too.
