Critique Group Challenge: Week 46, Guilty Pleasure Photo by Dennis Mullen Click to view larger image. Dennis says: I've always had a weakness for symmetry. And for dark chocolate syrup made with a little honey, a little butter and buttermilk, some cinnamon, vanilla, smoked paprika, baking chocolate, semi-sweet baking chocolate and some dark cocoa powder. While it's fabulous spooned straight out of the saucepan, it's practically guilt-free served on top of vegan, dairy-free plant-based vanilla dessert stuff that neutralizes calories and catalyzes chloresterol into vitamin E. |

Smart Phone Challenge: Week 46, Box Photo by Ricky Tims Click to view larger image. Ricky says: Today while cleaning my studio (laugh as much as you like), I excavated these tiny little handmade boxes that were gifted to me a few years ago. They feature images of my little tuilips (Chantelle's) that I've taught many times in quilt classes. The largest box is only 2" and the other two nest inside. Edited in Prisma app with Paris |
Critique Group Challenge: Week 46, Guilty Pleasures Photo by Ricky Tims Click to view larger image. Ricky says: I'm a glutton for pottery. I won't take time to list my other obsessions. This is my cupboard - one small section. I opted to attempt shooting the curves and feature the shapes. The figures on the pitcher in the back seemed to dominate but they are 'back there'. This went into topaz for a very slight color boost - then a typical dreamscape with the origitnal - and that was even pulled back. So the edits are subtle.

I've been fortunate over the years to collect a few quilts that caught my eye. This is one such quilt. It was made by Hanne-Grete Brink from Norway. She essentially made this entire quilt on a long arm. The fabrics were torn, laid in place, and stitched (quilted) at the same time. The texture of the fabric, the wild/rugged landscape, and the glorious sky captivated my soul. The quilt measures 22" x 44"

String Tumblers by Ricky Tims

While I love creating totally original quilt designs, I also love finding inspiration in antique quilts. This is one such quilt—inspired by an antique. I saw a string quilt where the units were the shape of “tumblers”. I realized that by shaking it up, and careful fabric placement, a it could become a very contemporary quilt. In case you don’t know, a string quilt is one that is made by sewing strips of fabrics together in varying widths. The final shape of the units can be cut from these striped-pieced fabrics. I had fun finding some whimsical fabrics for this quilt. If was featured on an episode of The Quilt Show.
