"Getting My Feet Wet" by Denise

I'm new to art quilting so this piece is called "Getting My Feet Wet". I did not use the suggested technique but will attempt for future pieces. I hand dyed the background fabric and blue fabric for this piece. The bead embellishment is one purchased from Heather. I tried to create "movement" with the different sized teardrop shapes. I'm also turning 50 this year so what better way to challenge myself than to create 50 works of art! I'm stepping outside my traditional quilting box to hopefully create art quilts. Denise Pitonyak
