Pizzazz abounds!

My class Textile Art with Pizzazz! Students have successfully concluded the six weeks of in depth study of value, color, color tempertures and the Flora Rosa design has provided the structure for dynamic art!

Student: Bente Kultorp Andresen has finished her textile art work titled: Red Glow

Bente did a superb job with the fabric selections, techniques, quilting and finishing.






Title: Red Glow

Students work with my original design: Flora Rosa to learn how to utilize certain art elements that will create pizzazz!

In addition to the primary Flora Rosa pattern, several exercise patterns are utilized to practice techniques and experiment with fabric. Mini quilts are the result of these exercises.
Bente's mini quilt 1 is nicely finished with a simple border that takes the place of an art mat.
Mini quilt 2 shows how the composition can work without the addition of a mat.


Textile Art with Pizzazz! will be offered agian on www.joggles.com starting July 16th.

Congratulations, Debbie, on your students' lovely work. Have you seen the Best Darned Quilts! exhibition on my blog - http://www.denacrain.com/blog? I find it marvelous when students grasp and new concept and run away with it. What fun it is to be a quilt design teacher, yes?!?
