Venetian Gothic Interior Court - Craft Fabric Art Panel

The twelfth design of the Venetian Gothic quilt fabric collection is another art panel or scene. This would be an interior wall of a room at the ground level or a mezzanine level a little above ground. This is part of the house that is less fancy and has access to the private interior courtyard - cortile. The well would be there, and access to the kitchen and spaces were the servants worked.

I went for somewhat fancy. The windows have the traditional clear glass windows - the glass pieces held together with lead, and a wood frame.

For the previous two fabric collections (A Forgotten Italian Villa and the Dragon of Hannon), I made scenes like this - which front and middle and rear distance surfaces separately and rendered them in Photoshop - and then put them into the rear of the surfaces in front. I did this here, but decided I didn’t like it as it shifts the colors toward yellow - or as in this case, my aqua colors turned very green. So I re-did them in the 3D software entirely, trying out some setting changes regarding the height settings, and got them to work as I wanted. There is a little tweaking and fine-tuning to balance the height for near vs distant surfaces, which I am still exploring (or struggling) to get right.

Interior Court design with coordinating fabrics. The Venetian Gothic quilt fabric collections features designs inspired by 16th century Gothic architecture in Venice. Available at my Spoonflower shop on cotton quilting fabric at 18 inch repeat, and on wallpaper at 24 inch repeat, which is perfect for dollhouses at 1:12 scale. Also nice as a hero or art panel in a quilt. Please keep in mind that if you purchase on wallpaper, you need at least 2 ft of wallpaper. The “sample” size is only 1 ft of length and you will only get half the picture (vertically).
