"Bitmap" (full)
"Bitmap"

This piece reflects a small part of the interesting personality of the breed of dog known as a Basenji. When coming up with a quilt for the theme Maps what came to mind was the Basenji's love for paper. I imagined the dog staring at the map on the wall and not being able to resist having a piece of this prized trophy, scheming a way to get it for himself. The scene is meant to show how proud he is of having torn off the bottom of the map and possessing  a piece of it to shred into even smaller pieces.

Technique: Soft edge applique on wool felt base. Hand painted. Free motion quilting.

Materials: Wool felt, hand dyed, batik and commercial cotton. Stewart Gill paint and buttons.

30" x 50"
$1600.00

First displayed at the Long Beach IQF show 2013, and Houston 2013.
Special exhibit "Maps" for Quilts on the Wall.
