Tango with Toothpicks


This is my latest 3D art quilt.   It is made with toothpicks and aluminum cans.   The toothpicks are the flowers and arms and legs for the little girls.

The faces are buttons covered with embroidery floss.   The aluminum cans are cut and then designed with permanent markers.  


Instead of quilting to hold it together, I used floss and embroidery stitches in a variety of colours.   The edges are zigzagged tightly and covered with a heavy lace.

I am borrowing my friend's camera for the weekend, and it has much better quality than mine!   (Thank you SGP)
