Inane ramblings from an art quilter who is neither a quilter in the traditional sense of the word, nor an artist in the really-good-at-drawing sense of the word.

Shamarr Allen
Finished! 35x29, commercial batiks, organza and rust-stained muslin. Photo printing (all photos and text used by permission) stenciled, stamped, pieced, appliqued, echo quilted and faced. Assorted ribbon and embellishments.
Congratulations. The quilt is gorgeous. The poem on the quilt was written by my daughter, Melissa Lewis on first hearing Shamarr play.
I also quilt, and am non-traditional in the sense that all work is done by hand (much older tradition) and rarely geometric ...I do street scenes of New Orleans.
I'm on myspace...url/quiltingNOLA.
I'm well aware a photgraph cannot begin to the convey the art itself. I hope to see your quilt in person some time. Is it on display anywhere?
Your designs are unique, and I truly appreciate your art.

Hey, Rhonda
How about a picture tutorial of the lettering technique you were talking about on QA. The burnishing one, that is...
Great Work here, BTW. Wowser!

That is an amazing piece of artwork...truly beautiful! And thank you so much for including my poem!
Rhonda -
I wanted to thank you again for doing this...I know Shamarr appreciated it, as well. So, who ended up with it?
Hope you are well,
Susan
