Quilt 5 - Fierce!

Originally entitled "Oscar the Ostrich," I thought Fierce! was a much more apt name. This quilt was begun at the Empty Spools workshop in Asilomar, CA, in 2010, given by Hollis Chatelain. I started with a photograph taken by Denise Larsen at the Ostrich Farm in Aruba. The fabric was dye painted then thread painted and quilted. Angelika fibers were added to the background clouds to give them shimmer.
