My Latest Commissoned Work
Is now in the hands of it's owner. I'll be posting a 'process' blog entry when I get all the photos downloaded but in the meantime she wanted to share it with some friends so I'm just posting the finished piece.
Size is 29" W x 27" L
As many of you know; Celtic knot work is labor intensive. The calligraphy is all done by hand; not computer generated or traced. It is hand painted with a combination of liquitex ink; acrylic ink & watercolor pencils.
Clicking the images will make them bigger.
Thank you Deb, it was an honor to create this for you.
This is the label on the back; it's roughly 8 1/2" x 11". The initials are Deb's & her late husbands', Joe.
Lovely work!
ReplyDeletefrom Deb on FB: "This piece is so very special to me - commissioned in memory of the love and light of my life and made by a dear and caring friend who, through the common bond of love of the Irish language knew exactly what to do with my scatterd and roughly stated ideas. She turned a blocky and linear idea into the sweeping and flowing statement of love that is everything I imagined it would be and more!"
ReplyDeleteThe calligraphy makes it very special. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI've had this piece on hand since February 18th. I can not put into the right words just how much I love - truly LOVE - this piece. It means everything to me. I have hung it in my bedroom where it is the last thing that I see at night and the first thing I see in the morning - just as my beloved husband was. I sometimes just stand in front of this beautiful artwork and look at all of the fine detail and cry. I am so very grateful for the twists and turns of events that led Stacy and I to become friends. She is awesomely talented and I feel blessed to own one of her original works.
ReplyDeleteOh Deb you totally are making me cry! Thank you so much! I'm so honored you've no idea. I'm glad that you are very happy and love your art quilt! That is just the best thing ever. Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting me take your vision and create something that means so much to you. It was a privilege.
ReplyDeleteThis is an absolutely lovely work of art. I am partial to the celtic knotting and just love what you did with it.
