Originally I set out to make a quail in black and cream and gold. As time went by she seemed less quail-like and ended up without a plume and perched on a box over her clutch of eggs. I always save the empty wooden spools because I really love them and I was glad to…
Wading Bird #3
I love yellow and black and gray together. The wonderful mustard fabric I’ve been using on the wading birds’ beaks makes up the body of this new one, and the ruff, of course. The wings are two different Japanese prints, some black Kona cotton, and a piece of vintage cityscape fabric that Mimi gave me…

Wading Bird II
A second wading bird. The first one is so happy to have someone to peer at. This new one is made from white and natural-colored linen and has a ruff, too, like the other one. Picking the fabric for the wings is how I start each bird. The reds and pinks here all came together…
Happy October!
From sweet little devils and precious pumpkins alike.
“Think”
"Think"9" x 12" collage and soft sculpture with vintage patch This bird’s head is turned and cocked to one side. I feel like she is talking to me, and she is a sweetheart. I set out to make a black and white and cream piece here. I do like the neutral colors.
Wading Bird
I made this wading bird from new and vintage fabrics, including some more lovely Ikea fabric from my sister. I missed making these tall birds. I really like their form. I added a ruff to the front. This piece will be part of a show I’m having in April at Paper Boat. I will be…
Sukkot
What a lovely holiday. Our Sukkah went up in just about three hours this year, with only minimal frustration and cursing. Each year it looks a bit nicer inside. We had a warm little party today with lots of toddlers running around making felt etrogs and playing in the sandbox and grown-ups drinking homemade chai,…
“Sky (Nest of Thread XII)”
"Sky (Nest of Thread XII)8" x 10" mixed media soft sculpture and collage I finished this piece last night. It looks really nice paired with "Perforated (Nest of Thread XI)" and "Ill Meet You There". A bit of a series, really. These are for one of two spring shows I’m beginning to get ready for. …
“Perforated (Nest of Thread XI)”
"Perforated (Nest of Thread XI)"9" x 12" mixed media collage and soft sculpture Lots of random and interesting bits of things in here: a receipt from Charlie’s high school trip to Russia, one of my myriad of vintage patches, bits of an encyclopedia for children, bingo chips (I do love bingo chips). The beautiful red…
