Yeah, it's another crow


I used one of my digital drawings as the basis for a small fabric piece.  Here is the digital version: 


I am working on some smaller stuff, looking toward a couple sales events in the fall. It really feels good to be working on these things that are smaller and have no theme or size requirement. Feels like a big "whew"! I am liking the idea of small pieces — the crow is 18" square — with bigger than life-size things. I had some fun with the stitching on this crow. It is hard to see in the photo above. Here is a detail.


Still hard to see. 

I am working on a giant pine cone now.

  1. It always amazes me how you can turn these "black" birds into works of art! Great piece!

  3. I really like your crows. I want to concentrate on smaller work for a while too. Your work always inspires.

    Your new crow is gorgeous. The purple stitching seems iridescent just like real feathers.

  5. The dark bird feels radiant- the black/dark blue feels almost sparkly.

  7. I like the fabric version better. I like how you did the stitching and added the white dots (french knots?).
