I’m glad that there are people who love Virginia’s art as much as I do. I love the colours, no doubt, but the idea of using used plastic bags is just gorgeous!

Thanks Jen, for posting it

I know, Mary Emma, you were just dazzled by the colours…

I agree, Virginia Fleck’s madalas would be inspirational for the makers of art quilts, in particular — it’s so good of you to want to share the bright happy colourful joy with your Quilting and Patchworkreaders!

I see, if I’d read more carefully, that this was Pelf’s discovery. Thank you both. I just visited Virginia’s web site. Spectacular work featured there. I think I’ll have to tell my Quilting and Patchwork readers about it! Even though it’s not fabric art as we traditionally think of it, Virginia combines color vividly and uses the mixed media approach.

@Claudia, that’s how I feel about it – I’ve got a fabric collage that makes me feel the same soul-brightening effect.

@Mary Emma, I wish I could take credit for this find, but it’s all Pelf’s sharp “eye for the gorgeous” that’s at work here!

It’s the colors that attract me (as well as the idea behind the art) – so bright, exotic. I love colors, the more the better, it’s like balm to the soul, especially on a gray winter’s day! Lovely! Thanks for sharing this!
