Now – I have to mention something that will make a difference to how often I’m able to post to the blog. Recently a blog reader in Denmark told me about a big arts-and-craft show that’s held every year in Denmark, and suggested that I might be interested in exhibiting there. It’s called “Uge 33”, and thanks so much, Karen, for telling me about it and helping me through the application process. So to cut a long story short, at the moment I’m preparing a collection of pieces to take to Denmark next summer. The only problem with this is that because they’re all very big and very complicated, they take a LONG time to design and stitch, so I won’t always have something new to post every week. But I’ll put up things as they’re finished, and I will try to put up some more freebies just to keep people interested!
But meanwhile there are still a few things from the Larks show to post. This one started life as a simple stylised green bird in front of an abstract sun. But although I didn’t really like the bird, I thought the sun was interesting. So I put the green bird aside to work on later and replaced it with my usual flock of black crows. It still isn’t quite right but the black birds against the bright sun are interesting
Birds before the Sun
WOW!You are amazing!!
sounds like a real challenge – sure you are up to it! Looking forward to seeing your work.
There is so much detail in the sun – love it, looks like it is drawing the birds in
I do hope that you will share your new work for us after the show.
Love your sun, It looks simple and complicated at the same time. When you put it up for sale, let me know. I think it will fit something I have been working on to a tee. I also love your birds, except for the one with the wings down, The back needs to be a little curved.
I just plain like it !
Your fabric design with the halo around the sun is stunning. Love those crows! You are so creative, thanks so much for sharing.
Wow, Mia, Congratulations. Recommendation is the best compliment you can bestow on someone’s art. You will have a wonderful show.
Love the crows with the sun…very unusual, but they are the “5 crows” in my yard…!!!
Absolutely fabulous!
