Portraiture
Although it may seem a bit strange to include portraits of birds here, this is a piece I made from left-over bits of a carefully pieced vintage quilt with three grackles executing their mating display. The piece is 12 by 12 and will be in the 2021 SAQA donation auction held annually in September. I have a few bits still left and those will become the SAQA Spotlight donation in March 2022 at the annual convention. One piece will become a post card as a thank you to the buyer of the piece.

Wow, this looks incredible!
this is one of my favorite pieces. I used a lot of hand-dyed and marked fabrics. the background came together very quickly. I like to use a traditional pattern but then put portraiture on top. Some people think I ruin the piece by putting portraiture on top but I enjoy the interaction between geometry and figurative work.
Thanks for looking. I haven’t updated my work recently–trying to get some things into shows but I don’t like them broadcast before then.
LOVE this. just added to the ideas already in my head……I hope all this does not cause hair loss… LOL
