Cut, Piece, Paste

My Immaculate Conception took this photo during a business trip to Tokyo a couple of years ago.

When I needed to find an image suitable for a pieced art quilt workshop, I chose this because of its simplicity.

I pieced the sky from several fabrics and made the arch as an applique. I am auditioning border ideas and hope to have the top nailed down today.


Eventually I hope to add details to the arch and to the trees/temple with quilting. I'm contemplating making the brass ornaments out of one of the many little-used mixed media embellishments in my stash. Tyvek? Foil? Shrinky-dink? Foiled shrinky-dink?
