Green with Envy- Cathy Ortelle

Green with Envy
Recycled and reused fabrics were used for the "Green" challenge. And, I looked around till I found pieces in the color green. The leaves on the left were made from "roughed up" apholstery fabric. I plan on mounting this on stretcher bars with the fabric in the lower right corner. It was machine quilted with variegated green cotton thread.

In the Skies - with Diamonds

I should have said without diamonds, but they (crystals)are in the plan. I love color, the brighter, the better. So I used pure basic dye powders and let them do their thing. I love the result and the Neon thread I'm using will punch it up even more.
