Fool's Journey Art Quilt

Finishing up a once a month, 6 month art quilt class with Jane LaFazio.  This is quilt # 3, entitled 'Fool's Journey' consisting of 6 mini 'quilts' attached to a 12.75" x 19" velvet and felt backing.  Jane is a phenomenal mixed media artist working predominantly in fabric and cloth. Each class was a different type of art quilt technique, this one : 'working tiny' was my favorite.  I left most of the edges unfinished and the felt backing was a sturdy and easy to work with canvas.  The two 'faux postage' images are adaptations of the male and female fool cards from my Tarot deck, printed on silk. The stars are from a handmade stamp on hand dyed fabric.  I decided to break up the linear with a meandering path of silk embroidered stars on a piece of vintage velvet. Other details: antique buttons, a crow button, botanical cactus prints on silk, hand painted silk ribbon, a brass bell and some text from a curious little pamphlet dated 1924 and inexplicably named:
 "Are the Planets Inhabited?".
