Here is the whole piece. I haven’t done the facing yet. It will be about 18" x 43".
The body part images are copyright-free clip art, printed on paper, and glued down on white cotton fabric with gel medium. The paints are Jacquard Textile Color (the orange and green) and Lumiere (the gold metallic).
The name comes from my great grand uncle, Dr. Albert Philson Brubaker, who was a physiology professor at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, Pa., in the late 1800s through the early 1900s. He wrote several books on human physiology that contain illustrations like the ones I used in this piece.

Very cool looking!
ReplyDeleteWonderful work of art Susan! A delightful tribute.
ReplyDeleteWild. It doesn't look like paper. So translucent. What kind of paper did you use?
ReplyDeleteIt is a piece of white fabric with small paper pieces (with the clip art body parts) glued to it. Then paint on top.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful art quilt and a wonderful tribute!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, It's so fun seeing it finished Susan!
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous, and the colors, which are way outside of my normal range, have got me all inspired and itching to try an "out of the comfort zone" project. Did you add the Lumiere before or after quilting?

Thanks, Stella. I painted before quilting.
