Settled in front of the TV a couple of weeks back, I glanced up on hearing an advert for Gotye's album. I love the current single...
Anyway, the cover artwork flashed on screen; I hadn't seen it before, and I haven't seen the advert since, but I was instantly smitten, light bulb moment, goodbye all previous ideas, come to mama...
So a little Googling, grabbing, adding to my iPod and sketching later, I was good to go! Not having enough shades of grey, nor green, or even orange as per the cover, and wanting to get making, I opted for a different combo.
We are talking 'inspired by' here!
I have never gone from 'inspiration' to 'making' so quickly and I am amazed, although still a little bit unsure of the finished mini.
OK I'll shush now, here's the pictures...
Ta da...
It measures up at 15.5"x 23". Made with a mix of Klona solids, Michael Miller Ta and Dumb Dots, backed with IKEA numbers and quilted with Aurifil 28wt in grey.
Is it really masculine? I don't know why am I not quite feeling it. The solids? I am perplexed! I hope it's just me.
I am proud of the process though, and I have even been drafting plans for a full quilt, but please don't hold me to it.
So there you have it, in its full spiky, angry(?) glory. I am kind of hoping Mr Random Number Generator loves Gotye too xxx
