The atmospheric conditions yesterday morning were not what most people think of as a perfect day for photography. But since our destination was the cemetery, the dense fog was perfect!
We headed to Rose Hill Cemetery with a few devoted photography friends and I came home with lots of images for angelic quilts. An earlier post about my first Galadrielle quilt is here and includes a bit of history of this magical place.
Yesterday I captured images of some more angels that I think need to be on fabric.
Little Martha, made famous by the Allman Brothers, is especially pretty in the fog, I think.
Other angels spoke to me, too. This one sits atop the tomb of Parthenia Raines.
And here is a different interpretation of Galadrielle in fabric. This time, her image is stitched to a vintage placemat with elaborate embroidery. I added many pearl beads by hand, securing her to a remnant of an old quilt dipped in the indigo vat.
A reclaimed doily serves as the label on the back.
