This is Kathy's "Tribute to Michael James". She has admired his work since the 80's when she first saw it....His early work was done with strip piecing, later he added curves. Kathy used a metal 1/2 clam shell template from Ardco to form the apple core pattern for her creation. The "rules" she followed were to use striped fabric for 1/2 and batik or something else for the other half. No strip was to touch the other fabric...Backing for this jewel she used bright green and earth tone batik.....She says it is one of her favorite pieces....One can understand as it catches your eyes when you walk in the house.
A basket hold pieces for another she has started and is setting on top of the work in progress...Hopefully when you click on the top picture it won't be blurred and you can see the bowl on the piece..
While in Houston Texas, Cindy took a fused glass class at "Harmony Stain Glass". The bowl is her creation, she brought it for show and tell...With four layers of strips of fused glass she made this "Hanky Bowl". The detail is amazing and oh so dainty.
