nest of thread VI

June 8, 2007

Dscn0021

Sewing and making collages are coming together now.  How cool is that?  Very cool, if you ask me. This piece was so calming to work on.

I love red, especially deep red.  My deep red poppy is blooming right now in the garden.  I put it in three years ago and this is the first year it has bloomed. It was worth waiting for.

    These are fantastic! I love the collage work tied in with the birds. I agree with the above comment, these would be great on exhibit.

    Your birds are so beautiful and never cease to amaze me, I love that deep red you used too! Please keep up the good work, I always enjoy wondering which kind of bird you’ll make next 🙂

    I was just thinking of you as I read a book I have about paper mache. Ever think of making a box yourself? I should email you some of the images.

    Your birds seem to have such expression on their faces!
    I love deep red too. In fact, I just received the most gorgeous deep red wool in the post today. Can’t wait to pack the kids off to bed so I can break out the needles!

    I LOVE the fact that you are combining soft sculptures and collage (collage and softies being my two favourite crafts as well!). It’s brilliant. Wonderful, wonderful work.
