Roadside Wonders WIP

I've been working on this piece for several years now, last year it sat hiding in my closet due to my being pre-occupied with flooding etc. It's time to fetch some green plants from the ditches and do more monoprinting with the plants. The central block no longer works for me and I

plan to do something else now.

My Bird Sketches Suck!!!

I had a sketch of a bird, and it's foot pattern, set off to the side and still managed to muck it up!!! I drew this with a sharpie on water color paper. I think I need to go back and study those Robin and Crow pics I took a few weeks ago!

Untitled Bird 5 x 5 inches

It needs something, aside from a better looking bird!!! I'm not putting another bird to the large panels until I get them where I want on smaller pieces.

Yeah!!!

Make a joyful noise and sing - and I'll sing with thread and fabric!!!

My Influence

People often leave a comment or email me directly asking me what my influence is for my artwork well...

Matt 5:13 - Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Mark 8:38

Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

In Progress

I added more feet and corn kernals will work on this more tomorrow when my elbow is feeling better. I also fixed the birds tail, I'm thinking this piece needs more birds and corn head girls!

Bird Sketches

I think I will have to take a couple of hours in the morning and practice my bird sketches on the machine, my birds are looking a little odd.

In Progress

In progress I have a lot of landscape to cover here, it's quite a change from the smaller pieces. I've started working on the left panel so that the two panels are unified. Eventually I will start working on the right panel again.

I'm Back Treasury

Wow two items in one treasury!!! My silk carrier rods and hand dyed ribbon yarn made it into a wonderful treasury by Ayala Levinger

Corn Head Girl

4x6 inches

Finished I hope we will see I'm off to work on another piece and will let this one sit awhile. As soon as the word "juggle" came to mind I knew this piece needed a bird. I had hundreds of Robins and Cedar Wax Wings visit my lawn recently, they fought with the crows for the last of the crabapples on my tree. Yet I found kernals of corn everywhere in my lawn, did they stop in a corn field or at an elevator first? One will never know.
