A slight departure from my normal posts. There is a fund raiser for our local Aviary called The Nichoir this weekend. And I decided to paint and stitch some pillows for it.
Handpainted on unprimed canvas and embellished with free form stitching. The birds are appliqued onto the background. This was very satisfying to do as I can expand on this many ways and I can indulge in my love for fabric and beautiful embroidery threads at the same time.
As experiments do, this lead to my stitching up some Fall leaves using wool, dupioni silk and organza. I'll incorporate these into wool scarves, handmade bags and more pillows.
