First try at oil refinery

I spent the morning working on my Van Gogh inspired energy quilt for the Art with Fabric Blog hop in May.

Still lots to do, but I think I accomplished a lot this morning.







I still need to add the lights on the refinery that are reflected in the water. I am still deciding how I am going to do them. There are also cut outs in the black silloutte of the buildings that show the sky behind. They will break up the black a bit.

Linking to Nina- Marie a day early. I wonder if she started her piece for the blog hop.

What do you think?

Thanks for reading.

  1. If EB were looking, she'd have a comment about those pins. So I'll make it. :-) It wasn't until I looked at the larger version that I realized the bits of light on the refinery were pinheads & shafts! But they do give a bit of idea of what adding windows will do. This is going to be great! What's the size!

  2. I thought about the pin heads, too! It is about 29 inches wide and about 16 inches tall depending on how much of the water I show. I am thinking of quilting it with a blue metallic thread that I have from superior. Will have to see how easily the thread quilts. Any ideas on creating the lights? Paint? Fabric? Painted dryer sheets, cut up and then fused?
