An art canvas wall hanging that combines the juxtaposition of beautiful
garden images and urban street culture; create a mixed media art quilt
with unconventional layers of deconstructed painted jeans, digital
prints and painted fabrics covered with your own personal graffiti
marks. The art quilt is hand sewn and embellished with a bead and
bauble FIBER hanging. Make your mark accenting vibrant backgrounds with
handmade printing plates and stencils; explore monoprinting and
collagraphs. Learn about color-dyeing images and incorporate them into
the luscious layered canvases.
