When I was in AZ, I had the pleasure of hiking into the Betty Lee mine. The mountains surrounding the draw were a rich chocolate brown. The pebble like gravel filled with turquoise colour was so attractive. Back in the studio I was compelled to create some fabric pieces based on my impressions of the day.
The first two pieces were created using a wet into wet technique of painting with dyes onto cotton fabric. The last two pieces were created layer upon layer with some additional line detailing. I have more ideas!!!

Wow! That fat quarter is just delicious-looking Eileen. Lucky winner, whoever it is!
So pretty!
All these pieces are really beautiful! What will you do with them (besides the giveaway one) The colors and textures are gorgeous.
Holly, I sell these fat quarters, usually to quilters. Art appreciators also buy them to frame. I sell them at quilt shows and on my website www.eileengidman.com or on request.
