Quilt |
If you are thinking of the pic above like
about the first shot of TV miniseries
"Scarlett", you are mistaken. This
shot is a little piece of the "Royal Dalton" quilt which was done by
Sandra Senter with her own hands. Sandra lives in West Chatham, placed on
the beach of Atlantic Ocean in Massachusetts. In English Sandy's work
sounds very simply - "quilt" or "patchwork", but to think out or to do
it is not so easy! The History of Quilt and Patchwork
As it reported in /L.1/ "stitching of shreds
for making large patchworks you can find in all cultures all over the world.
Both these techniques - quilt and patchwork hang one upon the other, but they
have completely different historical roots.
Sandy's purpose was grandiose - she decided to
show the movies where Timothy Dalton took part in the elements of her future
quilt. To realize this plot it was needed to choose a number of differential
characteristic of every Timothy's movie to make it's image recognizable.
Look, how wonderful it was done on Sandy's quilt
- to touch off unrepeatable local colour of mini-serial
"Scarlett"! The deep-green
fragment reminds not only about the dress of heroine, which was sewed by her
hurriedly to charm Rhett and to get the money for Tara's saving yet in
"Gone with the wind", this is a colour of her eyes and the colour of endless
fields of Ireland, where she went out to go from herself. This sapful
deep-green colour neighbours with the soft pompadour colour of furniture's
plush and the white lace's fragment, which ones could serve that times like
adornment for clothes and interior. Near - the medallions with the images of
estate Tara and the horse, the symbol of successes and failures for Scarlett
and her relatives� Auriphrygiate inscription with the movie title on the
scarlet background instantaneously involves the viewer into recollection's
maelstrom.
Look at the another fragment of the quilt! Here
is legendary
Coco Chanel. She seems literally
coming down from the screen: all the new she has brought to the world of
women's fashions was reflected on this consummate painted and embroidered
with the special seam illustration - free lines of the dress without the
corset and sewed from the new for that times jersey cloth, it's shorted
length the small of the leg, the absence of any beautifications and butch
haircut - all reminds us of this great toiler and past mistress. When you
look at this fragment, it seems to you, one moment - and Gabrielle will
make a step and you will feel the aura of "Chanel � 5"! (Sandy Senter tells)
Putting an idea for a picture onto paper is
one thing but to take it one step further and put onto cloth takes a bit more
doing!!
For some areas, I will trace out the area onto
a peice of cloth large enough to put into an embroidery hoops and then, by hand,
would sew it in and create a patch effect. These parts took quite a while to
finish! I would then do other parts by putting the stencil area onto a colored
peice of fabric and tracing it out and cutting it leaving 1/4 more than the area
to create a fabric seam. I would take a square peice the color that I wanted
the backgroung to be and cut it into a 14x14 square and sew all teh peices onto
it to create the picture I want. Using these technicques gave it quite a bit
of depth with incredible textures and feeling to it! It was wonderful to see
the picture take shape!
