"The Monk's Door" is my latest mini and I'm in love with all the fabrics, most of which I purchased from England Designs.
This mini measures 12" square.
Watch as this neat mini develops. This is why I take so many photos, so that I can see what's working, placement, shapes, etc.
I did an in-lay design on the door and I wanted it to be off kilter a bit. Sometimes straight lines aren't necessary.
A bit of black on one side of the door to lend depth.
I' used a lighter wood grain around the door.
Then I fussy cut white stones and applied them "artfully" around the wood.
Around that and even darker, aged wood to, one - show off the white stone and two - give more depth.
I wanted to do something with the tiny brick fabric. What better way to use them than as a sort of broken or peeling effect.
This is really shaping up but it need more..... Onward!!
Much better.
I finally added more tiny bricks towards the top and then stones at the bottom.

Your ability to transform your imagination into fabric art always amazes me. This is a wonderful piece.
All I can say is wow!!!
This is a great process description-and it includes the "whys" which is really helpful when someone starts to build their own design.
Thanks.
What a great mini. It is so awesome. To see all those details in only 12 inches is proof of a great talent. Congrats Rhonda. I just can't stop looking at it.
My thought when seeing the first picture was that it was a "panel". Oh my how wrong I was. Fascinating to see your steps. Great talent again from you. I can see how pictures taken along the way are helpful. You are a wonderful teacher.
You have such a talent.
Amazing! The dimension is fabulous!
That's amazing. You really are an artist in fabric. I'd never deal with some of the tiny things you do. I'm in awe!
This is so beautiful! You are a real artist!
