1. Yarn Painting: Amethyst

Amethyst_650px“Amethyst” 8 x 10 inches. A small yarn painting using cotton yarn, acrylic, polymer clay and silver leaf. $85.

I baked polymer clay for the various star sizes and silver leafed them. Then, I glued them on the acrylic-painted background. The cotton yarn is gradient dyed in various colors from plum through mineral gray, so when I glue it a strand at a time around the raised clay pieces it creates this ripple effect. The yarn swirls wrap around the sides of the raised canvas.


This painting as well as many others can be found at KALEID Gallery in downtown San Jose, California, on 4th street between City Hall and the MLK Library. Map
