Yesterday we looked at a number of the camouflage quilts from the Studio Art Quilt Association. Let’s examine a few more today.
This first quilt uses Batiks, Hand-Dyes and Commercials Print fabrics…..
…
I love the foliage in this piece, along with the “hidden” Iguana!!
The artist added so much depth to the foliage….
…
I had to read the artist statement for this quilt before I saw the elephant…..
She says…. “I love the idea that an elephant and a tree can resemble each other – a sense of camouflage, so to speak – yet the size disparity contradicts the elephant’s ability to blend into its surroundings. I am sure the elephant hopes, “If I hide behind this tree, they won’t see me”!”
…
This quilt has some wonderful hand work….
…
I love the vibrant greens in this quilt, not to mention the cute lizard…..
Once again, a plethora of techniques, including machine applique, thread-painting, photo printing, machine quilting, outline stitching, pastel painting, and faced binding
…
The delicateness of this piece caught my eye…..
Of course, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the quilting!!
She used 62 different colors of thread!!
…
Finally, this whole-cloth, painted piece…..
The design was painting with Inktense Watercolor Pencils!!
That is it for my view of the SAQA Camouflage exhibit!!

Joined the challenge? I am still sewing square blocks together the old-fashioned way. This is WAAAAAAAY beyond me!
But these quilts inspire some of my other artwork. Love looking at them!
They are certainly inspirational!! I am glad that you enjoyed them!!
