Welcome to my stop on the Art with Fabric<\/strong> Blog Hop!<\/p>\n

I’m participating in the Fall 2017 edition of the Art with Fabric <\/strong>blog hop, organized and hosted by Alida of Tweety Loves Quilting.<\/a>\u00a0 Alida has lined up 20 quilter-artists, and has asked each of us to create a quilt or fabric project inspired by \u201ctraditional\u201d (i.e. non-textile) art \u2013 such as paintings, drawings, sculptures, architecture from all countries and all time periods.<\/p>\n

The blog hop started on October 9, and many art-inspired quilted pieces have already been posted.\u00a0 Check Alida\u2019s blog for the complete schedule<\/a> and links to all the participants.<\/p>\n

Recently, I’ve been making a lot of art quilts inspired by architecture, especially bridges.\u00a0 The primary purpose of a bridge is to link people and places, by providing safe passage over an obstacle such as a body of water.<\/p>\n

Many modern bridges are amazing feats of structural engineering, and the focus is to build a functional structure – not as much on creating a work of art.\u00a0 That said, in my opinion, most bridges are works of art.\u00a0 They appear to defy gravity as they soar over water and empty space.<\/p>\n

My inspiration for my art quilt is the architecture of the Skybridge<\/a><\/strong> (which is a part of the rapid transit system in Metro Vancouver BC).<\/p>\n

Here’s my art quilt “Bridge of Many Colors” – 8 x 10 inches.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

‘Bridge of Many Colors’ by Terry Aske<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

For this project, I used a photo I took several years ago of the Skybridge.\u00a0 The sense of distance and perspective from this point of view really appealed to me, as well as the contrast of the straight, diagonal and curved lines.<\/p>\n

In 2014, I made a quilt of the Skybridge<\/a> using realistic colors.\u00a0 I have always wanted to make one in surreal colors and decided now was the time.\u00a0 I digitally enhanced my original image to change the colors.\u00a0 I tried a few versions, and my favorite was the one below, with a yellow sky and blue-violet bridge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"\u00a0<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I printed the enhanced photo on fabric.\u00a0 Then I fused the printed image to felt, and quilted the outlines with black thread.\u00a0 I did all the quilting before adding the backing fabric, eliminating the need to bury all of the thread ends.\u00a0\u00a0 After quilting, I fused the backing fabric place,\u00a0 catching all the thread ends under the back.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
