An assortment of bird related textile arts
I've been making all kinds of birds for many years, but this year's theme is BIRDS BIRDS BIRDS!
Also trying my hand at wreath making for upcoming shows, tucking my birdies into them. I am making wreath birds with outdoor fabric so they are waterproof and won't fade in the winter sun.
Next stop is Frog Hollow Art Show Nov 10, 11 and 12. Come see me for birds, wearable art jackettes, dresses, shawls, and various textile arts including cats, chickens, angels, vases with flowers and more!
BUSY WITH THE BIRD THEME....
Sept 23rd My artist neighbor Harriet Hill and I are hosting an ART SOCIAL at 146 Rossiter Ave, at the very end of the cul de sac. Stop by and get to know us, hang out with neighbors, enjoy the art (for purchase), make a paper bird wand. Light refreshments.
RAIN DATE: Sunday Sept 24, 11-5.
November 10, 11 and 12th back at it with Frog Hollow Art Show
I love 3 dimensional fiber art. Making birdies with various fabrics and using felt to back the feathers. It's a bit of a challenge to make them stand on legs/feet. Going to pop some into nests too. The standing ones are about 9" long x 5" high, the one in the nest is 9" long by about 3" high.
It's been a busy year, now taking some time to regroup my studio. It was looking and functioning hunky dory and then rug hooking supplies and weaving supplies were added.
I have an entire shelving unit filled with fringe blankets ready to become jackettes, and many quilts that will becoming coats. They will most likely debut in November at Frog Hollow Art Show.
A new skill: free motion handwriting with my sewing machine. I hope to integrate more of this going forward. I am a Baha'i and these are some words of wisdom from the Prophet and Founder of The Baha'i Faith, written in a book called The Hidden Words.
