Whole Cloth Pebbles Abstract



I'm trying a whole cloth quilt technique to interpret one of my abstract designs



First I used a Frixion Pen to draw the design onto some cotton. The pen rubs out with the heat of friction or with an iron.


Next I quilted the whole design using thick wadding to make the pebbles raised.


The grey stripes were painted with acrylics with a little textile medium added.


For the coloured sections I used watercolour pencils activated with textile medium.



The whole thing is stretched over a frame.
