I haven’t posted for almost 3 weeks, but that’s because I have been busy designing and creating a new art quilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of March, I decided to enter the Sacred Threads \/ Broadway Gallery exhibit – Harmony<\/a>. I had an idea that combined the concept of musical harmony with color harmonies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been a visual artist for many years. However, I had very little exposure to the art of music, until my musically talented sister Harmonious Joan<\/a> introduced me to the ukulele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to go for the 24″ x 24″ size option. I took a photo of my ukulele then printed two full-size images and pinned them on my design wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My initial fabric pull was more representative of cacophony than harmony, so I removed the very busy print from the mix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Color harmonies are part of color theory – established color compositions interact with each other based on their relative positions on the color wheel. I used analogous, complementary and monochromatic harmonies in my composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ukuleles, in chartreuse fabrics, are an example of an analogous harmony. They are bordered with red-violet, the complement of chartreuse, to create a high-contrast vibrant effect.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musical symbols dance subtly across the dark violet monochromatic background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
