As I had recently completed a number of sea/fish pieces I was a bit stuck on this theme so I took the angle of pollution.
I made a printing plate (see second image) from foam scraps that a friend was discarding. The grey shapes as printed represent all the bits and pieces that float around our oceans.
I used a lino cutter and a school rubber to make the fish skeleton stamp. The letter stamps for 'Pollution' were made from a wooden alphabet bought on ebay several years ago. The fabrics are all scraps or a
recycled old sheet, dyed or in some cases paint dyed. Free machine quilting.
I have had another idea so I might be contributing another piece, who knows.
On this blog the members of Sky-is-the-Limit group show the results of the challenge quilts they make. We started with each quarter a new theme, but have changed this to a monthly theme. Knowing that life can interfere with good intentions it is not compulsary to make a quilt each month, but at least 4 quilts per year should be doable. Every quilt measures 12"x12".
