Art Show at Silent Prints

A few pictures from my first show where I had work that was mostly photos on fabric and my friend SW had her many watercolors.

American Kestrel (a bird in the hand)

After the heavy wet snow storm we had over the weekend, our feeders have been busy, especially with the Common Redpoll. They have been flocking to the feeders in droves, not even scared away when we are on the other side of the glass.

A little while ago, I heard a thump and then the twittering of the flock of Redpolls scattering. There, upside down on the deck, was an American Kestrel. I got a couple of pictures of him in my hand and then I set him on the snow. One of his eyes was covered over. I wasn't sure if that was the bottom lid or if his eye was "blank." A few minutes later, he was gone.

Dog Bowl

This "Dog Bowl" is for a 3D challenge posed by my guild for a meeting later this month. The dog is actually based on a photo I took of a wolf. I was inspired to make a dog theme by the funky dog fabric that my friend gave me.

Think Spring! New fabric postcards

I'm working on a series of postcards, using my photographs as a base for the stitching. It's been great to look at all the spring flowers as I've chosen which pictures to make into fabric art. I'm thinking of doing one of the iris pictures in a larger, more abstract format. These will be in the art show I'm scheduled to be in later this month.
