 This is a whole cloth quilted wall peice. I painted it from a photo taken at a peice of land I have listed for sale. It incoorporates painting, machine embroidery, hand and machine quilting and beadwork. I did this this past summer and recently bound it. I really enjoyed getting it done. Though it is not very large, I am happy with the result. apprx 28″x18″. Below are some details from this peice.

Vulturous

Vulturous was completed in 2007. It is created from my handpainted fabrics with some machine embroidery, beadwork and painting. This peice incoorporates painting sewing and jewelery design for elements.  I see these Vultures most every day. They are magnificent birds that clean up the garbage. They are rather social and hang out in groups. Sometimes they appear to be having meetings. One day I saw 11 of them each sitting on a cattle fence post facing the bird who had just flown up to address them. Really quite a strange sight. Below are some details.

Well that’s all for this post. I have photos to take of Grasses, a peice that I have completed after years of working not so diligently on it. Coming up next!

Hello world!

This is the place where I will begin to post my artwork and musings. It is part of my New Life Resolutions to work on my art on a regular basis. I feel as though I am at a point in my creative process where I am learning less and creating some of my best work from all that I have lerned in the past. I’ve spent many years and time learning and developing technoiques and processes. I was a jewelery smith, a painter and have sewn since I could reach the pedals and my mom agreed to teach me how. My day job these days is selling real estate . The business is very volatile and though I will continue I decided it is important to have a fullfilling life. I wish myself the best of luck with followthrough on this art work . I hope as viewers and participators you enjoy it also.

I’m using the name Pajaritaflora, though you may know me as Mary Ann Ead I have created art signing as Pajaritaflora for years and somehow I screwed up the ability to have maryannead as my user name. I was a bit torn about wether to use maryannead or pajaritaflora and I guess my situation has chosen for me.

Now off to start showing you some of the things I have been doing lately.
