This next quilt was inspired by the colors and shapes of sea dragons, I love watching them at aquariums, they look so much like plants! Here's a picture of one I took in 2011 on a visit to the Monterrey Aquarium.
I loved the greeny-purple in their leaf-like fins, so took that idea and ran with it for this quilt.
The fabric I painted was the same as that I used for the creepy-crawlie piece, only this time I put the red on the back and the green on the front. I accented the green with purple shiva paintsticks to give color variety. The cut and folded quilt is stitched down to a purple quilted background, I love the bright pops of quilting that stand out from the rest. This one was especially hard to photograph, but we tried!
