Here is Cilium 2 (I kept the name because I liked the connection to the physical body and the idea of what function cilium serves).
It measures 21"x35.5"
I'm going to try using the wire to help form a 3-d shape on another piece by sewing it between fabrics...but that is a project for sometime in the distant future.
Enjoy more closeups.
I have sketches for 3 more but since my sewing machine went in for its annual check-up, I'm without for 10 days...I'm glad I didn't wait to take it in, another week and the warranty would have expired and it would have cost me moola.
Oh, I have a question about insuring work. I am sending this piece off to the Indelible Spirit show and it will travel and not be in my possession for at least a year, maybe 2 (can't remember). Do I need to insure this piece? and if yes, is there a special type of insurance I need? Give me the 4-1-1 on what I need to consider. Thanks!
WOW. I'm sure this is even more spectaculur In Real Life - I love the texture you have created with the quilting. And the couched copper is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYa hoo...a series..you go girl. and what an incredible second piece. Yes, you do need to insure your work but you need a private insurer not the Fed EX or UPS insurance. I have the info somewhere in the mess from the move; will email you as soon as I find it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on another great composition.
Karoda, so beautiful, I am in awe. Couching copper? You are a brave woman! Jen
ReplyDeleteOOH!! VERY yummy. I like the brown detail tons - gorgeous! Looks like a brownie!
ReplyDeleteI feel like Sonji - saying Yummy and being hungry, but it is all just so TRUE!
Beautiful work!!
ReplyDeleteKarada,
ReplyDeleteI like this piece...and your idea of a series of cilium
quilts....very original and personal. Looking forward to seeing more. Is this a perfect rectangle? I can't see the edges of the quilt.
Its not a perfect rectangle...irregular edges.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I really like the textures in it.
ReplyDeleteEgads! This is great! I want to see a larger picture. I want to touch it. You rock, girl!!
ReplyDeleteWOW - texture, texture, texture - I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe photos are magnigicent, but don't do justice to it's intense irridescence (for lack of a better word) In person it just glows and sucks you in.
ReplyDeleteBoth pieces hung together should be breathtaking. Are you really planning more?
OMG!! Breathtakingly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBreathtakingly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour work just gets better and better.
ReplyDeleteDUH - I didn't realize that this WAS your IS piece. Now I am even MORE committed to getting my piece done, just so it gets to hang with yours! COOL!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I just got home and what fun to find this piece posted! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I'd love to see it in the cloth!
ReplyDeleteWow! These are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I don't comment very often, by the way - for some reason Awasu won't update your blog beyond last January so I have to go into it when I remember and click on the heading to update it.
Wow! These are wonderful.

Wow! I just love all the textures that are in this piece. It is just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteOk, I admit it - I came back not to read a new post, but just to gawk at C2 again. I see something different every time, and it is just becoming an addiction, sort of like chocolate; one of those that you don't *really* want to break...
ReplyDeleteThis is great, love the texture and colors. Awesome, can't wait to see it join the IS group. Yours is my favorite so far.
ReplyDeleteI keep returning to read these comments over and over...just makes me feel so good about my efforts and work. Sending work off for an exhibit is a first for me. I appreciate everyone's encouragement!
ReplyDeleteWonderful. Love the texture and the color. The pictures make me want to touch it!
