Brand new seed pod

I have completed an impossible seed pod! See below for photo. I first created a small quilt that was collaged and mono-printed, then stitched, quilted and finished the edges with satin stitch. All the results of taking a workshop by Sue Brenner. I was very happy with it and then decided to add “pish dots” made with vintage kimono silk. These were sewn or glued on attempting to make it look like seeds were emerging from the “pod”. #impossibleseedpod, #naturesartinstitch, #naturesartmotes

Then just today I finished my small quilt titled “Garden Treasure” which will be submitted into an exhibit, “Elements” at the First United Methodist Church in Boulder.

Below is “Leaves Apparent” also submitted to the Elements exhibit. These leaves were gelli plate printed on organza, collaged and fused. Added were hand stitching and machine quilting.
