Journey to Bone of Contention

Reconstituting Old Art

Originally the patchwork started out as a small abstract painting on canvas, which really didn't work for me, in fact I hated it. So I cut it up and played with the pieces and decided I liked the patchwork much better.


painted version and embroidery version.

"Bone of Contention"


Embroidery and collage on muslin

I think this one is just about finished, save a minor detail.

Thrift Store Art Renewed
I have seen this done many years ago and always meant to play with the idea.
Maybe I will go and pick something up next week at the thrift store eh!
