As promised, I am finally sharing my final project for my textiles class. Here it is.

| 3 Girls on a Jetty in fabric |
We were asked to pick a painting and then to reinterpret it with fabric. I chose Edvard Munch's "3 Girls on a Jetty"
I love the simplicity and Scandinavian-ness of the painting.
It took about 3 weeks of work, and a lot of headaches. I don't usually like to toot my own horn (being of Scandinavian extraction and all), but I am really proud of the final product.
The trees and shrubs were created with a dry felting technique. I also quilted and tufted the large tree to give it extra dimension. The 3 girls were also dry felted, and then I hand sewn dresses for each, then I placed them on a screw so you could turn them.
The ground effect was done by a series of appliques and creative pleating. It was then added to a quilt batting and random embroidery was added.
Here is a side shot to show the dimension of the piece.
Thanks for letting me share.

Wow! Do I ever love this!!! I graduated with my degree in art and then taught art in public schools...but now I'm a stay at home mom who is addicted to sewing and only gets to teach art on the weekends. ANYWAYS....this combines two of my very favorite things--art and fabric!!! How cool. I totally love it and it is beautiful...plus I think it is so awesome that you put the little ladies on screws so you can turn them around.

Oh wow. This is sooooooooooo fun. It DOES look like a lot of work but so worth the effort when I look at that final result. Being Norwegian I get the whole brag not thing but really, you should be flaunting this lovely. Your interpretation of that art work is fabulous.
