I signed up for a free online workshop called Art Soul Gathering. There were several teachers, but I wasn't inspired by more than two. I'll show you what I learned...

the little bird was taught by Tam LaPorte. Mine isn't like hers exactly but it's like my way. It's so colorful with a cute gesture.
after it was done and dry, I added in a quote found online, printed it in italics, dragged a tombow marker along the torn edges and this is where I think I'll attach it
The hand sewing is small, 8 X 11" and it's purpose is to provide a place for me to do meditative stitching. I ordered 8 spools of variegated threads on sale from Liz Kettle at textile evolution.
I have lots of other pretty threads too. I like variety. It is in progress... I've stitched the petals, stem, two leaves and grasses. I'm trying to decide how to continue.
I thought I'd do just running stitch but....

Love that little bird. Yay for sewing!
ReplyDeleteI love your wee bird and the quotation you chose is perfect! I'm glad to see the full meditating woman painting because I liked the excerpt you showed in yesterday's post.
ReplyDeleteI guess I missed that online workshop. I do love your little bird!
ReplyDeleteI love your little bird. You did such a great job painting him. I hope you continue to enjoy health improvements.
ReplyDeleteThis little birdie is so adorable! Bravo, and I'm so happy that you are feeling better and stronger! Thank you for sharing your beautiful art.
ReplyDeleteThe little bird is very sweet and how very true is the quote you chose. It's good to read that you are beginning to feel a little better. It's good to see you are able to enjoy some meditative slow stitching. The flower with those pretty threads and stitches is looking lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blue bird and fabulous quote. Glad you are feeling a touch better. Here's to more feeling better this week.
ReplyDeleteI love your little bird - just unbelievably cute! Apt quotation, too.
ReplyDeleteThe little bird is so cute. Love how you use embellishments on your quilting projects to take a simple design to the WOW stage.

Ohhhh.... that bird is stunning. I love all of your art but this one really stands out. Your quilted flowers are just so pretty. I really like your painting of the the face. So much in thought. Thank you for joining FFO and have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love your painting of the little bird. And the flower embroidery is so nice. I like to put stabilizer on the back of my handwork and avoid a hoop also.
ReplyDeleteI love that sweet little bird. And your quilted flower is beautiful. I love how each petal is different. Have a super weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe bird turned out beautifully and I like the embroidery very much. I did Art Soul Gathering as well and only three of the workshops inspired me - Tamara Laporte, Melany Rivers and Sue Rivers. I wasn't really inspired by the others.
ReplyDeleteLee Anna, your bird is awesome! I really like it. And, I love your orange hand embroidered flower, as well as your painting. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings. Have a great week.
