Raptor (made in part from a Guinness bar towel I found at a church rummage sale last weekend).

Back detail. This is the first bird with a turned head. And toenails.

I was a bit waylaid in finishing this guy because I had to send out the pink and blue kangaroos today.

Making these sculptures has been so incredibly freeing.  To not have to worry about how much time each one takes me.  To not feel like every pattern has to be replicable. It is really wonderful.

    this is beautiful! it’s so inspiring to see you taking the time to make what is truly rewarding for YOU and not getting bogged down in making products for sale or that are always replicable.
    Thanks for sharing.

    I’m so happy to hear that you’re enjoying this work so much. This piece is stunning. Your recent direction has me in awe – the lines, the colors, the fabric selection… like I said, stunning.
