My Funny Valentine



My Funny Valentine-Baby Matthew started when looking at an artist call for paper quilts. I tore up 2 different watercolors, wove them together. All was stitched together with embroidery floss. Glazed the scrap pieces of watercolor paintings with red paint and cut additional hearts from that. I tucked the hearts into the woven places. Then after seeing a contest for Artella I decided to use the piece for that. I added photos of my son as a baby (cut into a heart) and little child (cut out paper doll style.) The lettering title was done with rub on scrap booking letters. All was mounted on a piece of red 12X12 paper.
