“INCOMMUNICATO” by Esterita Austin-2009

16”x16” Giclee

A professional print on canvas with a UV protectant coating.

$80. /plus ground shipping $14.00

The setting for this original quilt is the back wall of the dining hall in the 12th century villa in Tuscany where I teach every September. I’ve taken a bit of artistic license and included two people from another photo. For fun I thought including the Iphone and Blackberry would make a contemporary statement. The border is hand painted in gold on white cotton. Hand dyed sheers are used in her blouse and on the wine bottle. Fabric is manipulated for his shirt, the background wall is sponge painted. The wine glasses are painted as well as are other areas to enhance details.

Mistyfuse® Ultraviolet

In accelerated aging studies, exposure to UV rays have been shown to cause fusibles to yellow, Especially on light colors, sheers or other light weight fabrics, and surface use, yellowing may read as a color shift or dark spots. But now there’s Mistyfuse Ultraviolet! Mistyfuse Ultraviolet is specially formulated with an effective retardant to protect against the tanning effect of UV rays - without sacrificing any of the inherent Mistyfuse qualities you expect and trust. Mistyfuse Ultraviolet is white and fuses clear. Mistyfuse Ultraviolet is available in 20"(52cm) x 2.5yd (229cm)
