‘Silent Movie Star’

Linzi Upton

Crathes -  Scotland

Simple Art Deco geometry and the muted sepia colours of silent movies are contrasted extravagantly with the blowsy glamour of early Hollywood.

The drama of screen epics about big game hunters and voluptuous leading ladies relieves the drabness of the Depression era magnificently.

Machine pieced simple stars – generously machine quilted with variegated thread. Commercial cottons, batiks and gold lame fabric. Embellished with lame piping, hotfix crystals and rhinestones.
