St Francis ~ work in progress

work in progress ~ st. Francis
sketchbook page and art quilt in progress ~ by Jane LaFazio
I am excited about this! I love seeing pages from my sketchbook come alive in my art quilts! I love leveraging the art from my sketchbook. 

 I'm not finished with St. Francis yet, and I'm working on a series of quilts in this same style. (well, okay, I've started my second one.) (I got the wooden sculpture in Taos, NM last year, and as you can see, drew and painted it in my sketchbook.)

 I'll keep you posted!

    YES! I am thrilled to see your sketches interpreted onto textile. It becomes such personal, original work.
