Jacob's Ladder Series Continued

The Jacob's Ladder series continues... this time turned on it's ear. This pair has been on the design wall a while but I've just finished up the one on the right. The other was in an earlier post.
I suppose I got a little carried away making "ladders" but they are a little like Pringles.  Can't make just one, can't eat just one... completely addictive!
I wrapped it around a 36 x 12 canvas that is about an inch deep. 
And I'm very pleased with how it turned out.
Put it together with some of the other quilts from the study and they seem happy together..

I have no idea what to title this one either, it's in the "Jacob's Ladder" series but turning it on it's side kind of changed the ladder into a slightly more architectural look.

Jacob's Ladder Quilt

Yeah, it's a theme with me right now... this "Jacob's ladder" imagery. I think it's safe to say that I'm on a "kick." This is one of the earliest ones, it's been on my design wall for a while.  
I quilted it up and stretched it over a 12 x 12 canvas.  I'm really pleased with how it turned out.
I love the piece of fabric on the right hand side.  It turned out with such neat color and texture.  And the fabrics are a combination of mostly hand dyed fabrics, some hand dyed white on the whites plus my favorite rich purple batik.

Hand dyed cotton, white on white plus batik

Jacob's Ladder Study

Here are more in my "Jacob's Ladder" series. This is a shot of one of them in the featured artist display currently up May/June at the Oasis Gallery in Harrisonburg.
This is the pair of them, though one of them has some frame damage so I need to figure out how to handle that.
I do love these frames though, they are perfect for small art quilts!
Here they are up close and personal (pre-quilting)
I love the hand dyed fabrics, these pieces just had such cool pattern!
