At the Artist's Play Room, Jenn asked us to draw a pear this week. Although Jenn's blog is called Just Add Water, Silly, Jenn has to be silly if she thinks I could possibly draw a pear. I know they are supposed to be an easy shape, but I don't draw, sketch, or paint much of anything, much less fruit. However, I looked for a fruity rubber stamp and remembered I had this quiltlet I had made for a friend back in February.So there it is, my apple rubber stamp colored with red, purple, and green dye reinkers that I stamped onto a portion of a dictionary page. If you want to see how I made the background using Staz-on reinkers and shaving cream, go here.
Ooh, lovely Elizabeth. What a fab stamp and beautifully coloured.

You may not draw but you have a great eye for color. The apple stamp is nicely enhanced with the inks you chose. Nice to see an apple among the pears :-)

Your quiltlets are always so much fun! This one would make a nice gift for a teacher with the alphabet letters & apple!
ReplyDeleteI almost caved and picked a different fruit, too, but I wasn't going to let a silly little pear best me!
Beautiful quiltlet!
ReplyDeleteI just love this, so simple, but so I can't even describe - love it love it love it!!!! xox
ReplyDeleteLOL! I was thinking about using a rubber stamp or collaging a photo. I am not the best artist. But then, I haven't gotten started and I think I'd have to enter by tomorrow, right? Ooops! This week has gotten away from me with feeling sick for a couple of days. Anyways, this is very pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are funny E!
ReplyDeleteI like your not drawn apple very much especially the way you inked it!

Amazing post. Thanks for sharing important post with us.
ReplyDeleteFabulous post! I love the way you you outlined the letters. Totally get what you mean about drawing!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous apple Elizabeth!! And, hey, I did say if you had to love another fruit, have at it, lol. I think pears got a lot of love and apples deserved a showing. Your homage is wonderful and very fruity. I can imagine that as a little girl's blankie!! Wonderful Elizabeth, thanks for playing.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Jenn
Well you certainly got round that one and very nicely too!

Very vintage and quilt-like appleizing!
ReplyDeleteLovely picture! Reminds me of a deep red, Macintosh Apple, part shaded - yum! :0) APR #15
ReplyDeleteI have tried to find a way to send you an e-mail or a comment, but since I'm not on Flickr, I can't comment on your always awesome art! I sure hope you'll return and see that I wanted to comment on and compliment your art.
DeleteNice entry for the challenge, Elizabeth! You are talented in many ways.
ReplyDeleteI love your quiltlet and so what if you didn't draw a pear. I'll take a gorgeous apple stamp any day. I love the way you can put things together and they work so well. Love it.

I am an apple girl the whole way...actually like pears as well but I would draw an apple any day over a pear.... so I totally love this... and thanks for the link to using the shaving cream... soooo have to check that out...xx
ReplyDeletehaha! i know how you feel - i've never done food either. your apple is beautiful! i like the background, too!
ReplyDeleteI love your composition. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt - they're always such fun but this is one of my faves. Simple but so creative. The apple is colored perfectly and I love the text left showing through. And your techniques are always so creative! Terrie APR#7
ReplyDeleteNicely done! I think it's refreshing to have an apple in the mix. You are truly a divergent thinker.
ReplyDeleteApologies for my late visit Elizabeth...but I'm so glad I made it.
ReplyDeleteI love how you take a theme and then do your own interpretation...you always seem to have fun.
The apple is fantabulous and I love the background too.
Maybe I should think outside of the box some time ;D
Have a wonderful weekend! Neesie (APR#17)
