Section 5

 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

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!
