WIP Hoodoos No. 4

This piece is starting to come together, and it's trying to tell me it wants a horizontal orientation. 

Natural Dyes on Silk Fabric, machine stitched.

WIP - Hoodoos

I was going to use this piece for experimentation, adding paint and ink post stitching now I'm not so sure, will see when the stitching is finished.

Wool thread in the bobbin, this is the back of the piece, oops!

Solo Show Installed

For some reason I forgot to take a photo of the entire display, will try to remember to do so when I take the show down the end of January 2012.  Over all I'm very happy with the way the pieces look, I have to give credit to Diane Hall for hanging the pieces, I would have hung them in a straigh line and well that's boring!

Rivers and Trees Solo Show

And decided to take my three Wild Flower pieces along with since there will be extra space in the display case at the education center.

Not Convinced

I stitched the flax down and now wish I had not done so, I was hoping to capture a creek here locally that has several ox-bows coming off of the main stream.  I may cut some back, may add some hand stitching not sure yet.  Thinking.

Rivers and Trees

Getting ready for my upcoming solo show at the Grimes Farm Conservation Center, Marshalltown, IA.  I will be showing my Ghost Trees Series and my Blood River Canyon Series.

WIP - Painted Canyonlands No. 2

I've hit the point where I feel like I've ruined the piece, the solution is to keep pushing the surface of course.
