Sunrise Seagull: Quilted Art Wall Hanging and 15 similar items

Sunrise always seems a time of optimism, if you are awake enough to enjoy it! And optimism is the theme word for this challenge for Sunrise Seagull, along with the use of metallic tones. I had picked up the material for the tree fairly recently, not sure what I would use it for, but the copper fits this theme, especially since I made the sunrise reflection from other coppery fabrics. I layered fabrics for the sea and sky, with the top full layer being a sparkle organza. The organza puckered as I sewed the seagull on, but in a way, that seems to enhance the image. The pink lines are scraps of tulle to add a sunrise color. Size: 21" x 16" My artwork is mounted on foam core, which creates a light-weight but rigid piece with a wire for hanging and a felt backing. It is treated with a sun-block spray, although prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may eventually cause fading.
