Violet Possiblities


Two selections this time for Roy G Biv Day...seems I like violet but rarely find violet as a strong color in my work...especially fabric pieces. The top piece I posted as a yellow choice but today I'm choosing it as a 'violet' piece. The second choice is a favorite of mine. There really is a burial place referred to as 'Pharaoh's Daughter" and it is still a bit of a mystery as who this really might be...? I created a mosaic on fabric with a mixture of silver leaf. The rather alone plant is a lavender/violet with grey and rust stitched vines. This may be the end of the letters of Roy G Biv day but it will continue with other colors such as white, brown etc. so stay tuned as the search continues. Lots more violet choices at  jennifer

Violet you say?!

It's been an extended search on Roy G Biv day. I have a couple of examples of violet in cloth and a couple on paper using mixed media. This first piece "Call to Flight" the story of Icarus, is a favorite of mine and I used it as the cover for my 2008-2012 catalog. A visit to the site of Jennifer Coyne Qudeen will give you a list of other searchers of violet.
