I offered a quilt to my niece asking (1) size; up to queen (2) colors; suggested sending me paint chips (3) theme or style or mood
She responded immediately with double size, turquoise/navy & shell colors, serenity. This is my idea -- no pictures -- you have to use your brain.
A ghost layer quilt.
-- Big horizontal wavy color wash in blue/tans
-- Ghost layer of a coral silhouette -- big, basically covering the whole quilt
-- Base layer of a school of fish with very simple silhouettes.
-- "secret message" embedded inside of the word "Serenity"
I'm really excited, but haven't managed to get anything on paper yet. I have decided not to try and draft it in EQ6. I'm going to do it on sheets of paper, then transfer to clear film with a sharpie, then stack up the layers & scan them. Then I can print it out full size without a lot of futzing.
At first, I had the coral as the base layer, but the ghost layer is supposed to be only "light" and "dark", and it makes more sense for the coral layer to have 2 values, and the fish to have 3 values (light/ medium/dark).
