Klimt in the garden with Rumi on ANZAC day

Each month in Effy's "A Year with Rumi" class we are given an art journal lesson and a quote. My project is a little different in that I am making mixed media fabric art cards to go inside a box with the theme "Klimt in the garden with Rumi". Each month I take inspiration from what's happening in my world so that each card relates to my personal experience of the month. My base watercolour card is a 5 3/4" square. Today is ANZAC day so this month's card is themed around poppies, love and peace. I made my initial gatherings including fabric left over from the poppy quilt I completed earlier this year. Thrilled that this month's Rumi quote couldn't be more perfect : "All this singing. One song. Peace be with you"

The small size of the card means that I can never include all my inspiration from my initial gatherings, but I can try things out easily - brayered a favourite Pebeo together with a transparent Golden paint ♥
