It's supposed to be a representation of this photo of a black hole at the core of NGC 4261:

| From The Hubble Site |

| Black hole-eating amoeba. |

| Is this its better side? Nope. |
It wasn't until Thursday that I came across this Crab Nebula quilt by Jimmy McBride in the latest Quilter's Newsletter that I decided to try something spacey. I found the photo on The Hubble Site. I picked a very simple one, but wow, there are some stunning photos on that site.

| This way then? Nada. |
I then used the photo quilt technique by Maria Elkins that I've been wanting to try for a few years now. Once the layers were fused on, I did tight quilting using mostly Aurifil (#5009, 5002, 1104, 2230, and 2240). At least I still love the thread!

| Perhaps in better light? Niet. |
Like my other challenge pieces, this one measures 14.5" square, finished with a zig zag stitch.
October's colour is grey. More to come this week on this smoking colour! Maybe next month, I'll do a black hole eating an amoeba...
Have a great Sunday!
I see where you are coming from M-R.could it be that larger piece of the brighter pink that did it?
ReplyDeleteI'm not judge with this!! I have no idea where I would start to make this...but when I look at it; I lose the depth with that pink which is like your center....but I still think you did fantastic with it.
It would look stunning as the background for a sillouette of something.....or you could embellish it into a beautiful flower. I think it just isn't done yet.
ReplyDeleteIt's a really good reproduction of the image, but perhaps harder to identify because there's no 'space' around it to put it into context. I love the Hubble image idea, this photo quilt technique is perfect for a space quilt.
ReplyDeleteYour orange is great- I'd completely missed seeing this post for some reason :)
