Escher's Seahorses M. C. Escher (1898-1972) was a graphic artist from the Netherlands. I am fascinated by the many drawings by Escher which show figures linked together, like in this picture of seahorses. To make this quilt I first made a paper template of one of the seahorses. I used the template to cut out shapes from black and brown fabrics. The white seahorses are actually the white background fabric showing through between the brown and black fused seahorses. When it came time to do the quilting, I chose brown thread and stitched scales and eyes on all the seahorses. This quilt was a present for my friend, Pepper Cory, who also loves Escher. |
