Calling all creative people or those who admire them! Anyone who appreciates fine art will like fiber art quilts. This medium might be a new form of expression for artists. People who love to go to art galleries or who are looking for new acquisitions for private collections will enjoy finding a fresh new vision.
The internet is bringing attention to these creations made of fabric and thread. Many are traditionally sized to be used as wall hangings or bed coverings. Some artists make both large and small quilts, as well as pillows, table runners, place mats, or other accessories for a beautiful home.
Only the imagination of the creator limits the impact these pieced, quilted, and embroidered objects have. Many artists are inspired by nature, but their approach can be very different. Online galleries will show you realism and abstraction in equal measure. You'll see charming silhouettes of birds or ships at sea, garden flowers in full color, or rustic landscapes. Other artists use more abstract shape and color to evoke the emotions nature inspires.
Those who prefer realism will enjoy the garden flowers, landscapes, and recognizable silhouettes. People who like to see unbridled energy in action will find it in the bold colors and use of shape and line of abstract creations. These artists use textiles like the masters used paint to get effects those of us who are less gifted can only marvel at. The online galleries are great for exploring the diversity and impact of this lesser-known art form.
It's very educational to visit individual sites posted by those who use this medium to express their vision. You'll find out more about the artists; one was a geologist who now uses earth colors and flowing shapes to evoke majestic mountains and the beauty of individual rock formations. You'll also find out about galleries and exhibits where works are displayed and may be for sale.
Fabrics can be almost anything, but cottons are popular, in batiks and chintzes. Foil-stamping and metallic thread are sometimes used to highlight designs. Different effects are achieved by using patterned, dyed, and painted cloth, and texture is supplied by mixing fabrics. You may see beads, shells, feathers, wire, cording, and other accents as well.
All the works are, of course, one-of-a-kind. Each exhibits the unique handiwork, color and design sense, and vision of the person who created it. The quilting, embroidery, and detailing makes this art form different from any other, but it is the artists' vision and creativity that brings it vibrantly alive. One artists advises owners of her quilts that hanging them at different angles changes the way viewers will interpret them.
Art lovers will appreciate the energy and creativity of these creations of fabric, thread, and imaginative flair. The whole world is explored, from the serenity of nature to the explosive energy inherent in color and shape. Perhaps you will find a piece you want for your collection, or you may just learn to appreciate a new art form.
