Elizabeth Ruffing’s New Etsy Shop

Elizabeth Ruffing’s new Etsy shop is now open. I’ve stocked it with many of my fine art giclées and a couple of original art quilts as well. Update: We’ve moved these items to our collective Etsy shop and Elizabeth’s Etsy shop is now for her original art toys.

This is a giclée of my original watercolor painting, “The Rabbit Dances“.
This is a one-of-a-kind original art quilt wall hanging of hand-dyed batiks framing a canvas print of my original watercolor, “Valentine”, which shows a pale pink iris on a muted magenta, art nouveau-inspired wallpaper background. 

These, and other works of art are currently available in my Etsy shop. Please visit and have a look around. I’ll be adding more works of art on a regular basis.

OOAK One-of-a-kind Original Iris and Pansy Floral Art Quilts by Elizabeth Ruffing

These are two new art quilts that I made using 100% cotton batik fabric and cotton batting. In the center of each one is a canvas print of one of my paintings.

This one is “Valentine”, a pale pink iris on a muted magenta William Morris-inspired, art nouveau design.
There is a cotton sleeve on the back of each quilt with a matching, hand-painted wooden rod inserted inside for hanging. A matching ribbon is inserted inside the sleeve with the wooden rod.

I used a free-motion stippling effect with my machine stitching to quilt the wallhangings. This wallhanging is approximately 11 1/2 x 13 1/2 inches.

This art quilt features a canvas print of “Pansies” with a decorative border around the image.

It has the same stippling stitching and a sleeve with matching hand-painted wooden rod and ribbon for hanging.
The edges are finished with a cotton batik binding.

This quilted wallhanging is approximately 11 x 12 1/2 inches.
Both are available in my Etsy shop.
