So I really loved the cosmos theme this month, and I’ve done absolutely nothing with it because I’ve just gotten sidetracked with other projects. Some of it has been finishing holiday gifts up, some of it has been other inspiration and some of it has been working on other projects. I’ve been working on this one seriously for about a month now, and I’m happy to say it’s finished.
It’s a mixed media work, for my word of the year, Gathering. It includes walnut dyed fabric, rice bag burlap, antique lace, embroidery, hand carved bird printmaking, free stitching to create the nest and appliqued eggs. Along the bottom I sewed on a number of my favorite found objects and buttons. I love that stuff, and I collect it compulsively. The tabs at the top are bits from a vintage table cloth that I tea stained.
Above the nest I embroidered the word Gathering in blue. My piece is a sampler of many of the things I can create, combined in a new way for me. It’s posted over in my Etsy shop if you’re looking. I’m working on raising money for more art supplies and books these days, so check it out! My art needs a good home. It’s starting to fill up my house.
