Going to the quilt store de-stash bash this morning made me realize I didn’t have “quilting “ represented in this piece. Mom’s made some amazing quilts over the years.

I printed a simple block pattern onto tissue paper and glued it down with matte gel medium. Will stain it blue after it dries.

Still building up acrylic paint layers on the flowers. The more paint I lay down, the longer it takes to dry, so have slowed down a bit.

Still a WIP, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now.

This is a series of notes for my art project of using a reference photo of Mom’s flowers as the basis for a mixed media artwork that will be used to create a wooden jigsaw puzzle with garden whimsy pieces as a gift for my mother. 💐🧩
