This Wall Hanging Is In The Private Collection
Of
Jenny Kjerve
Artist Comment/Statement: If
I had been asked what was the first thing I wanted to be able to
do after my first back surgery, the answer would have been to be able
to dance with abandon at noon.
Techniques: All of the fabrics in this piece were fused
to the batting and then quilted with free-motion quilting and free-motion
thread embroidery by machine. The sun was made by crocheting with gold metallic thread. The
women were rubber-stamped and painted-by-hand using fabric paint. Glass
beads were hand stitched for the women's hair and elsewhere on the wall hanging. The
pink/orange raw silk in this piece helped to enhance the feeling of a "hot" noontime.
Materials: Fabrics
used were raw silk, cotton and cotton lame. Batting used was a polyester
batting. Machine embroidery and quilting was done using rayon, metallic,
and monofilament nylon/invisible threads. Metallic gold thread was
crocheted around a small brass ring from the hardware store. Glass
beads were also used for surface embellishment. Fabric paint was
also used.
