The brief for the next series of journal quilts was that they had to include a substance that was not cotton, woven cloth. As the Brexit farce continues apace, I had to continue with this theme. That means that this series of 4 is neither pretty nor technically skilled - rather like the current political environment.
I experimented with newspaper painted with acrylic paint, then backed with fusible, woven cotton interfacing, before layering with wadding and backing.
Painted newspaper with a flash of green cotton to represent the successes of green candidates in the local elections, giving us some hope?
Paint is a mix of red, white, blue and yellow, giving a murky green - representing the state of my spirits.
There is quilting on this, it is just rather difficult to see, like the UK’s future outside the EU.
Edged with black mourning ribbon.
