A confetti celebration

The word confetti brings to mind a celebration, but have you thought of making fabric confetti to create a landscape picture?  

Our quilting group tackled confetti landscape collages last weekend.  After viewing these landscape arts at quilt shops and on blogs we decided to give it a try.  Before beginning everyone researched different websites and tutorials to plan their landscape and gather supplies.  Sharing the information we gathered and using slightly different approaches everyone worked on their confetti landscape.  

My confetti landscape was inspired by an acrylic painting I saw in a hotel room.  I snapped a photo and used it as my guide.  When I finished my landscape it looked like the road at my son's house in Grayling.  He  has a beautiful stand of birch trees and possibly that was what I liked about the painting. My finished size is 16" by 16".  I framed my with a glass covered frame to help keep dust off of it.

Here are the other ladies creations. Some used more confetti, some used different shaped confetti and some even added pictures of their pets.  The possibilities are endless.

As you can see they are absolutely stunning.

This was a great way to use up stash and scraps and it didn't take much fabric.  I can see more confetti landscape art on the horizon.  I know I have a couple more I that I will do.

It was a weekend celebration of success and beauty.  Everyone completed their landscape.  No UFOs this time. Just being together with my friends is a celebration in itself.
