GRAVE RUBBINGS.......

AND CRAZY QUILTS................

Who else could come up with that besides the amazing Susan Lenz?????

As usual I find Susans' art  completely captivating......especially her grave rubbings on silk.
When I saw these two pieces where she combined her rubbings with crazy quilts I knew they were my favorites . (so far :)

 

"The Urn"

 

 

 

 

" Circular Churchyard Angel III"

 

 

You can read more about these pieces and see more of Susans'

rubbings at her blog,

"Grave Rubbing Quilt Series."
