so shall you rip.
Anybody that sews can relate to that horrid moment when you have to rip every blasted stitch out, grrrrrr. Thankfully since this is my doodlecloth for 2012, I don't have to worry about it, I can mess it up and experiment and just play.
Saw a beautiful feather in a National Geographic Magazine, and wanted to experiment and see if I could do an hand stitched version. I also used a wee bit acrylic colour wash on it to blur the lines between colours.

Gosh, CB...it's so pretty!
Pleeeez don't rip him out!
(For a minute, I thought you were submitting a feather for Jude's feather project...)
Oh, btw, I love Hockney, too. Always have.
Haven't read the articles yet (supposed to be doing laundry and sewing-for-the-kid. Whoops. :-)
But I thought it was interesting that he went back to England. He was in L.A. for quite a while, wasn't he?
Oh, and I found this and thought it was hilarious...

XOXOXO and Happy Monday!
lol, that's too funny Petrena, thanks for stopping by. Oh, I won't be ripping anything out, promise.
and Happy Monday to you too :)
Oh fantastic!! This is stunning. Doodle cloth what a fab idea, I do some but in truth am a little scared of sewing - but on something you simply can't mess up? Awesome idea :) x
beautiful feather! can't wait to see the 2012 doddle cloth in December. It is going to be fantastic!
This is a beautiful feather. Great idea to blend the colors with paint. Keep pushing it further in experimenting. I like the graffiti aspect to your doddle cloth.
I also enjoyed the laugh from Petrena. Thank you.
yes - blending with paint - brilliant - but I already knew that about you!
