bird quilts



just as I am beginning to 
write a new article for submission
with 

my bird quilts in the 
Winter 2011 issue
have returned...




"sunset"


we collectively use birds as metaphors to describe people and relationships
and with these quilts I wanted to
explore and express current feelings and relationships
with family and friends...


"adaptation"

these first three pieces are  
roughly 8" x 8"



"fly in all directions"

the small pieces below measure
5" x 5"




"mindful" 

and they are all hand stitched on Khadi paper




"joy" 

with antique ephemera



"comfort"

and grey sari ribbons...



 ingredients: antique stamps and thread labels, paper ephemera thread, painted papers, stained papers. fabric, lace and acrylic paint. 

I am way behind in my postings
so I will be back soon with another post about 
the new Pasticcio Quartz Zine
as I have a piece published there as well...

off to the studio dear readers, 
I am hoping your day is sunny in spirit...

ciao, ciao!
