Well, my sister Becky is brilliant. (I knew that, but I forget.) In a comment on yesterday's post she said, "Could you just lay this quilt on top of your Mt. Hood quilt and snap a quick picture? Kind of a 'crow's eye view'."What an idea!
She doesn't seem pleased with the crow in her garden, does she?
(see the whole quilt here)
And another. This one may be my favorite.
- Boy, my color palette is sure predictable.
- Almost anything is a better background for the bird than what I had.
I love all of them but especially Mt. Hood with the crow although the egg doesn't work on that one. Lots of fun. Great idea Becky.
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up!!
ReplyDeleteThat was too much fun!!
ReplyDeletenow you need to do like 17 birds...
ReplyDeleteI thought this was the intent of the flowing grasses from a few days ago!?
ReplyDeleteI love this. What fun and I especially love the look on the girls face.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! What an amazing, fun thing to do.
ReplyDeleteWhat a HUGE difference that makes!
ReplyDeleteA landscape works perfectly, IMHO.
ReplyDeleteWow what a great idea! Finish the edges and make several backgrounds and then you could change the background every time you change your mind. Just kidding, but I think your sister really had a great idea.
ReplyDeleteYou go, gurl! (Sorry to be unauthentic ethnic, but it's still early, at least in my befuddled head).
ReplyDeleteThis is really fun trying your other quilts as background. I also have to say that I would never have thought of cutting out the background and making a new one. I'm looking forward to seeing what you end up with.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have a fellow blog friend who would really appreciate the lady gardener with the crow in the garden!
I love these and especially the Mount hood ...the crow could be showing the egg where he might grow up.... fav colors
ReplyDeleteThe bird with the gardening girl adds a whole different perspective, and is quite amusing to me...the tone of her face even changes, as if to look down on the bird...
ReplyDeletelove this. could be a start to a whole new interactive series.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. With the series of photos you have, it seems to me that the bird is looking for the perfect spot to keep his egg...
ReplyDeleteand hasn't quite found it yet.
Grat fun. Your work is so beautiful and precise and this adds a spot of humor for sure
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, back when you were thinking about cutting down the outside, I was thinking, cut out the background. And here you've done it! I like the Mt Hood background the best - the perspective of being slightly above really comes out. Or maybe it's just that the mountain is my favorite of the backgrounds, regardless of whether the crow was superimposed on top.
ReplyDeletethat was fun! looking forward to seeing what the actual background will be...
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you for doing that! It turned out even better than I had imagined. I think I like the geometric background as well. It reminds me of the King's counting house (where he's counting all his money.) And, well, we know what the crow is planning...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great exercise. To my eye, every one of them works, each in its own way.
