Beatroz looking 4 work🩷💜💙 ✊🇵🇸​

Aquí está la #ilustración de la #anémona para el proyecto #4Estaciones.
Su nombre ἀνεμώνη procede del griego ἄνεμος, que significa "viento" y del sufijo -ώνη, "hija de".
En el lenguaje #victoriano de las flores, significa "abandono".

Si te gusta el diseño, está en #Gumroad en tazas y bolsas de tela.
Y si te gusta este estilo, estoy abierta a encargos y nuevos proyectos como autónoma.

Here is the quilt I just finished, titled 'Because She Changes', inspired by the monumental public sculpture 'She Changes', by Janet Echelman, in Matosinhos, Portugal.

Selvedge denim both sides
Vintage silk embroidery threads
Cotton sashiko threads
Red linen border

2m x 1.5m

Every stitch hand-sewn.
















A large quilt of blue denim with sashiko-style imagery. A background of white and blue lines, running in different directions in different parts of the quilt. The centre is four interlinked circles in shades of red and orange, from 70cm across to 20cm across. They are segmented (24ths) and some segments are filled with sashiko patterns. A different pattern in each segment. Above right of the circles is an area of pale purple/rose stitching resembling a whispy cloud. At top right there is a moon, 3/4 full, with 'realistic' surface details based on moon maps'. Near bottom right is an abstract pattern in pale blue representing mist. Bottom left is a series of classical sashiko waves in white. The quilt has a narrow red border

Here's the whole thing. It's 2 m by 1.5 m.

It's based on where we live, in Matosinhos, Porto.

The main theme is the massive public sculpture 'She Changes' by Janet Echelman. Other design aspects are waves, sky, night, clouds, moon, mist.

At the moment I'm calling it 'Because She Changes'.

A view of She Changes, a massive installation by Janet Echelman. It looks like a huge circular net suspended against a late evening sky and the Atlantic Ocean, full of soft colours from dusky orange to a deep grey blue. There are layers of gentle soft clouds which have hints of purple in their depths
Big denim sashiko quilt cover. It is an abstracted design with four intersecting circles (reds and oranges) of diminishing (or increasing...) sizes in the centre which have segments full of different sashiko stitchwork, abstract purple whispy cloud forms above and right of these, a 3/4 white moon at top right, abstract pale grey-blue mist forms bottom right, White sashiko wave forms at bottom left ... and behind all are vertical and diagonal lines of pale blue and deep blue

I was going to make myself something from 6 square metres of selvedge denim I happen to have, and decided it will be a sashiko quilt.

Here is the front panel (2 metres by 1.6 metres), with a design inspired by the view from our window (waves, sea, clouds, massive public sculpture...)

This one could take a while.

A big piece of denim laid on a wooden floor. It has been drawn on with various patterns covering the whole area in white lines. There are arcs bottom left, from which vertical lines arise, cut off by diagonal (left down to right) lines, and the final third is diagonal (right down to left) lines. Several circles of various sizes overlay the lines. Each has an off-centre point from which multiple lines emanate to the circumference. It is a layout for sashiko stitching. The persons sketchbook, ruler and other tools are laying on it at bottom right. And I'm sure one of my toes is visible bottom centre. Sorry.
