"COMING HOME"-WALL ART QUILT


I've just finished this piece. I call it "Coming Home" and it will be my entry in my art group's showing in mid August. It's not complex or fancy, nor is it abstract. I like my pieces to tell a story. Coming home can mean many things to many people. The gulls come home in the evening, children seeking comfort or aid come home to their parents, we all end up coming home in the end (where ever home is for us).
So....anyway....this is it.....like my sister says, "kiss it up to God and send it out".
I tried to make the center glow out beyond the confines of the picture and into the border.
It measures 15x17".
This is all done with un altered fabric. The background fabric in the picture is hand dyed, but not by me. It was the inspiration for the piece.
