Size 42" w X 42" h

Artist Comment/Statement: Much like my life at the time I started this piece, the design started out as something entirely different, and it just wasn't going to happen the way that I had planned it.

There were supposed to be colorful tropical birds in a tree. The birds flew away, the tree disappeared, and all that remained were all the beautiful wonderful tropical colors.

Techniques: The background was machine pieced and quilted. Hand embellishments of glass beads, chenille thread, and embroidery were added to the top surface. The black-and-white checks were hand-painted with fabric paint.

Materials: Fabrics used were Batiks and commercial cottons. Cotton and monofilament, nylon threads were used for the machine piecing and quilting. Glass beads, chenille thread, and hand-dyed variegated colored cotton threads were used for surface embellishments. Polyester batting was used. Fabric paint was used to create the black-and-white checked fabric.
