So guess what? The nest of thread series is heading to a gallery. So very nice. The upcoming show ‘Things With Wings’ runs August 10 through September 8 at Three Graces Gallery in downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I will be showing eight of my bird pieces. The owner of the gallery, Kim Ferreira, saw a little write up about me on decor8 and asked if I’d like to exhibit at her gallery.
The opening is Friday, August 10, from 5-8 pm in conjunction with the Portsmouth gallery walk. We are planning to go to the opening and if you live nearby I hope you’ll come, too!
Meanwhile, I can feel myself intentionally slowing down even further, spending more and more
time on the details of each piece – hand-stitching the nest, wrapping
the legs with thread, painting the wing fabric, nailing things to other
things. I could potentially get lost forever.
Congratulations!
Congrats! I’ve really enjoyed this series you’re doing.
Congratulations! Please show us some pictures of the exhibition once it is up – it will be great to see them all together 🙂
I was wondering if they were going to a show. Wish I could see them in person- I can tell the detail is just stunning.
Best of Luck!
I’ll be there! 🙂
Fantastic news, Abby!
I hope the show is a raging success…..If I lived in the same hemisphere I would definately be there!
Good Luck,

Abby, would advance purchase of any of these pieces be possible? I’d like more info on #I and #IV. Otherwise I’d happily contact the gallery.
Congratulations! Wish I could come and see the exhibition – I’m a litle far away!

Images from the Kama Sutra.
These texts support the view that in ancient India, sex was considered a mutual duty between a married couple, where husband and wife pleasured each other equally, but where sex was considered a private affair, at least by followers of the aforementioned Indian religions. It seems that polygamy was allowed during ancient times. In practice, this seems to have only been practiced by rulers, with common people maintaining a monogomous marriage. It is common in many cultures for a ruling class to practice polygamy as a way of perserving dynastic succession.
