The moon is fused fabric. The owl was printed on fabric and fused. The tree is free motion thread painted using silver metallic thread. Here in the western North Carolina mountains, we sometimes hear the big owls calling in the woods above our house on cold, early Spring nights.
I am very interested in fiber art. In August, 2007, I joined a new art quilt bee in my local quilt guild. Inspired by my new bee friends and those wonderful books, "Creative Quilting, the Journal Quilt Project," and "The Uncommon Quilter" by Jeanne Williamson, I committed (to myself) to make 4 journal sized quilts each month for one year as a way to explore my own creativity and to encourage myself to play with surface design. I started in August '07 and at the end of July '08, I had completed 48 "journal sized" quilts, and you can see them here on my blog. It was a great experience and my intention was to jump right into another structured self assignment. That was nearly two and a half years ago, and the structured part just didn't happen, but I have continued to play with fabric and art supplies. The Bee is inactive now, and I miss them. I hope that the group will revive when Spring comes. I have recently joined another group, The Fiber Arts Alliance, that originated with the Asheville Quilt Guild, and whose large membership includes some fabulous artists whose work awes and inspires me. I'm excited for 2011.
