Bed Cover made for TextilART exhibition

I feel like it’s been ages since my last post

I don’t know if I was that busy working on so many different things (I still haven’t finished them so I can’t share with you) or I was lazy. But something came up and I needed to work as fast as I could and get it finished on time, so I could apply for an art exhibition.

As you all know I am a textile and fashion designer and this was a good opportunity for me to try and get in to this exhibition. My father forwarded me an email with news about applying for TextilART exhibition, and I immediately decided to create something new. I still can’t believe how fast I got the idea what to make and I was so happy with how I imagined it in my head and how it should look at the end. At first I wanted to create two similar bed covers for this exhibition but because I didn’t have enough time I decided to make just one. I worked every day, whole day, because I only had one week to finish it. I didn’t make sketches first because I wanted to work instinctively, without a plan, and I liked it this way. As I said I wanted to make two bed covers, one with cats and one with owls but ended up making just the one with owls.

My idea was to make a patchwork bed cover with painted parts and in the middle three embroidered owls that I had already drawn few months ago. This bed cover is 2 m long and 1,05 m wide.

Now I just need to wait and see if it’s going to be chosen for this exhibition

Wish me luck
