A new owl today. I made this one entirely from a cloth flour sack. She is stuffed with wool with a wire armature, as always. Lots and lots of loops for feathers. And an owly face. We just may go in the sprinkler this afternoon. It is over 80 degrees here and we need to…
caramel bird
Caramel small bird for artstream. She looked like a shore bird, thus the shells nearby. Stella had her first day of school on Tuesday. She went to her two-day toddler program at our shul, just for an hour and I stayed in the room. But she did great and I know she will be so…
owl in mustard and orange
A new owl. I have had this awesome piece of vintage fabric for several years. It is all seventies orange and mustard and brown with jungle animals all over and periodically the words "let us live" in bubble letters. Seriously, does fabric get any better than that? So finally I cut into it for this…
drab bird #2
Slow but steady progress on birds. As camp winds down I have only the evenings to sew, but they are lovely quiet evenings with my ipod and little piles of drab fabric. Roxanne saw Stella’s dress and wanted me to make one for her to start school with, too. We went to the fabric store…
1 of 6 drab birds
Whew! It has been a few days since I’ve posted here. Roxanne is currently attending two summer camps at once, Charlie is away on a business trip, we are embarking on a major landscape construction project to transform our backyard into usable space, and my mom is in town. And our babysitter is away this…
looped lark in red
We had a great time at the opening at artstream on Friday night, despite a really scary and trying drive up there through much traffic and torrential rain! It was so nice to see Susan again and to meet many women artists from blogland in person at long last. I do love the internet for…
small owl!
I made a very small (only 7″ tall!) version of my owl soft sculpture. This little fellow is here in the studio now, hanging out with small sewing notions and feeling rather antsy as other, larger birds, peer down at him. I find him rather endearing, though. As usual, he has a wire armature and…
looped lark
This small series is now complete and I will ship three birds to Blue Bottle Art Gallery and Boutique early next week. The final one is this looped lark. Here she is from another angle so that you can see her open beak. And a detail of the loops and stitching on the wings. I’m…
A Rooster
The second piece for Blue Bottle Art Gallery. This rooster is more pink and deep red than the previous orangey one. Deep red is my favorite color and it always makes me happy to pick red fabrics and sew with red thread. I have one more bird to make in this little series and then…
owl (in grey)
I hope you had a great 4th of July. It was a bit on the cold and cloudy side here, but we still enjoyed the parade in Needham, hosted a cookout and attended another. Here we are trying to stay warm and dry while admiring the floats going by. It was a nice long weekend. …
