This quilt was entered into the Fine art Masters competition at the Festival of Quilts and wasn't accepted, but instead is entered into the Art Quilt category, so I wait to see how it's recieved. Lots of different types of silk and fine cottons have been wrapped around rusty bit & pieces then soaked in tea. I never know what marks or colours will emerge.
Inspired by the ruins of the Cornish tin mining industry scattered throughout the cornish landscape, as the marks remind me of those I observe as I walk in those areas.
