butterfly graffiti baubles
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.
