With a sigh of relief, I am taking a day of laziness. Up to almost the last minute I was extremely busy, with everyone wanting something sewn to embellish their home before Christmas. What a joyous time of year!! I love to celebrate the birth of our Savior and build wonderful memories with family and friends. But it can be a very busy and tiring time!! Now it is time to relax!
The continued struggle to find time for Fabric Collage was never more evident than in the last 2 months. Hence, the lack of posts on this blog. I am taking this week between Christmas and New Year to rejuvenate. Included in that rejuvenation will be some finished Collage pieces. One is a late November birthday gift for a friend and another is a commissioned piece to be given as a Christmas gift...also late :(.
I am pleased to have been in recent communication with Dattatreya Phadke. He is a Pathologist in Novi, MI who has enjoyed doing many forms of art since childhood. Among his pursuits are handmade greeting cards, acrylic, one-stroke, watercolor and watercolor batik painting as well as photography. His education and career in the medical field has prevented him from pursuing art in a formal way, but, he uses his spare time to satisfy his creative flair. His most recent addition to this list is his experimentation with fabric on canvas. His first piece is called "Harmony" which he did with whatever bits of fabric he could find at his home.

Since that first endeavor, Dattatreya has enlarged his portfolio.
I really enjoy his style and felt compelled to share his art.
In this piece, Dattatreya achieves a beautiful blend of colors. The background is gorgeous but does not over-power the birds of paradise flowers.

I love this vibrant suggestion of a flower in full bloom. I think balance and texture are the keys to this pieces' success.

Dattatreya found inspiration for this piece from a photo he took in Traverse City, Michigan this fall.
Beautifully done !
I hope you have enjoyed these as much as I have. Thanks to Dattatreya for his willingness to share his art with us ! I am looking forward to seeing what he creates next.
Till next time !

In a piece such as this, the selection and placement of color is crucial and that is what Dattatreya does very well.
