As my busy teaching/traveling season is starting soon, I'm motivated to finish these to show my students and maybe sell some of them at the venues where I'll be teaching.
Very very pretty works. The patchworks, collages, quilt... we call them. All are fine and awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love it all. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI just love your work so, so much, Janey. On those two little birds, my eye imagined some type of recycled lace around the straight edges of the second bird, but the lace would be died or painted similarly to the background, so that the bird nestled in more with ... the background. That's my suggestion/idea, for what it's worth.
ReplyDeleteI adore the birds..........! beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh oh oh! Just so beautiful. Love it all! The felted piece would be awesome with gold yellow our actually gold - it looks like " starry night" to me. Did you paint the birds or were they part of fabric? I am just amazed. I don't think I've created since last summer/ fall. We've had a hard time at our house with medical issues for both my daughter and myself. I am praying we are in the upswing and that there will be enough of me emotionally and physically so start working at my drafting table again. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAlways beautiful. These pieces inspire me to start another hand stitchy project
ReplyDeleteI agree with adding more lace to the second bird, but I also think it might be nice to add a branch that weaves across both. (I see it coming from the right to the left and adding more content to the negative space around each bird.)
ReplyDeleteJane,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your works in progress. I love the simplicity, textures, colours and variety. It speaks to me of harmony and balance...true to who you are!! Love that you share so generously.
Enjoy the retreat...wish I was there!!
And...planning on Tuesday and wondering about a supply list? Thanks,
Norina

Love your work too Jane. Maybe the birds' background could be a softer colour...pale blue..yellow?
ReplyDeleteAs always, such beautiful work!
ReplyDeletelove them all. i'm like you can't just work on one project at a time.
ReplyDeleteThese all look great but I LOVE that needle felted one especially :)
ReplyDeleteI love your handwork, and thanks to you, I now have stacks of small works too! We're on our way to the beach today, and I'll be navigating, knitting, and embroidering.....not nearly as much fun as tomorrow when we'll be there, but it'll do!

These are amazing, I love your work. I had thought of a painted background for the second bird (very light, maybe suggesting branch or leaves), but also like the idea of colored threads used for some vertical stitching behind the bird, perhaps of varying lengths.
ReplyDeleteYou have such an amazing and varied talent!
On the birds, the idea of completing the surrounding of the second bird with some lace and possibly bridging it even more with the left bird is my thought. It looks as if the birds are communicating with each other. The monoprints are so very harmonious. I like how the dark tile on the right side has such varied hues. Did you mask part of this with a stencil?
