fiber art – Barbara Harms Fiber Art & More

I am excited to tell you. Art Quilting Studio magazine is publishing another one my art quilts in it’s latest summer issue. This time it is my Red Egret At Waters Edge. I tried to capture the sparkling glimmer created by the suns rays reflected as it sinks lower in sky.

Here’s some pictures of of my “Egret” as published in the magazine. It is a beautiful magizane and the content addresses the kind of information that most art quilters would be interested to know; techniques, materi:als and jibrands used, etc.

I’m excited and appreciative to be included in this beautiful publication.

Here it is.

Note: This quilt is available on my Etsy shop, https://BarbaraHarmsFiberArt.com as soon as it is returned from the magazine.

Orange and Blue, Hot Air Rising

Sold

I’ve been pretty busy last few months working on a commissioned piece. I really enjoyed working on it and I’m happy with how it turned out.

I took a moment to catch my breath and now I’ve started a new art quilt. It’s an abstract this time.

I love the colors orange and dark blue when they are used together. They set each other off and look awesome. When I painted the silk I wanted to feature those two colors in deep rich concentrations. I also added some elements of metallic gold and copper in there.

Here are a few shots of this new quilt in progress. It’s an abstract. I’ve finished the the applique and begun the thread painting. I want a very linear look.

The Finished Quilt, in it’s new home, Australia

I Never Knew, So Many Wonderful Things Waiting To Be Discovered

If you’ve noticed I haven’t been around much, lately. I’ve been keeping mighty busy working on a new commission from an Australian psychologist. To

She has given me a very interesting project. My client wants a large art quilt with a beautiful Australian tree called a royal poinciana as the subject.

I’d never heard of it, so the search began.What I found was a gorgeous tree! When in full bloom it is covered with masses of bright orange/red blossoms. The flowers are so pretty!

This tree has some interesting characteristics, of course the first being those fantastic flowers. It has long twisting limbs, curving in many directions. Those limbs can form unusual shaped trees. Then there are the leaves, which look like fern fronds.

The next step was drawing some practice sketches to get a feel for the tree

I decided that I wanted to place the focus on those beautiful flowers. When the tree is blooming, great bunches of these red/orange flowers cover the tree. I have a few branches hanging down from the right side. This tree is just beginning to bloom.

At this point in working on this art quilt, it doesn’t look like much….yet. Often created work when seem mid way, will look much different completed

.I’ve made a lot of progress on it more than I’ve shown here.

If you’re interested I’m going to post a few progress photos as it moves along.

If you’ve noticed I haven’t been around as much, you are correct, I haven’t. I’ve been keeping mighty busy working on a new commission from a Australian psychologist. She has given me a very interesting project. My client wants a large art quilt with a beautiful Australian tree called a royal poinciana as the subject. I never knew that it existed, so the search began. What I found was a gorgeous tree! Google it and look at the images for yourself, a real show stopper. When in full bloom it is covered with masses of bright orange/red blossoms. I think it’s most outstanding feature is those wonderful flowers. I looked at a lot of images on the web, trying to get a feel for it. How does it look? What about it’s silhouette, growth pattern, bark and especially those beautiful flowers? The next step, I began the practice drawings, lots of them.
