I'm done! Any of you who have seen me in the past 6 months or so will have seen this thing in some stage of its creation. I've been working on it it for SOOOOO long, planning to enter it into the LDS International Art Competition, and have to turn in my entry in the next couple of days. I just had to ask you guys a favor first!
With my entry I get to send in a photo of my entire piece, plus 2 detail shots. My quilt has a lot of symbolism and so I made a little chart to explain what everything meant, but I'm wondering if it's worth giving up one of my detail shots to send in the chart. Here are my three shots plus my write up (which cannot be even 1 character longer so I can't add any more explanation). Here's my question to you- can you figure out what everything means with only the photo and write up? Could you leave a comment answering yes or no? (the write up is ALL of the words below the photos including the list of symbolism. The chart I made is a picture of the quilt with arrows pointing to what each part means. I didn't put it on this post because I wanted to see if you could figure things out without it)
If no one can figure it out I'll add the chart, if you can I'll go with the two detail shots.
THANKS!!!
He Lives: Christ’s Final Week
It is no easy task to visually represent Christ's wonderful works in the week of His Atonement. I prayerfully sought a way to, among the commercialism of Easter, catch the interest of my family and teach them of the events leading to Christ's ultimate sacrifice. This quilt, sewn completely by hand, visually represents the eight days surrounding the center event-or center of the quilt- The empty tomb.
Symbolisms include:
•Palms: Palm Sunday
•Cursed Fig Tree: Monday
•The Ten Virgins, The Great Commandment, Widow’s Mite, Marriage of the King’s Son: Tuesday & Wednesday •Olive Branches of Gethsemane: Thursday
•Crown of Thorns: Friday
•Darkness: Saturday
•The Empty Tomb: The Glorious Sunday Morning
