Animal Art Quilts.

I so love birds.  It all began with my home in Maumee, Ohio.  It had a beautiful dogwood tree planted right outside  the living room window next to the patio.  I placed a feeder in it and "they came"  All kinds, red, yellow, black, white, brown.  And over head were canadian geese and ducks in the yard from the near by Maumee River.  It just fascinates me.  To fly, to be so free, to live in a little next of their making, live thru the seasons, or fly away to warmer lands, to scatter when a bird of prey comes around or my cats who make noise at them thru the window.

 He is so adorable.

 Owls, Hawks, Grand Eagles, I love them all.
I worked at Nature's Nursery   http://www.natures-nursery.org/  for a short time, it was a joy to see the animals everyday, not so much the people.  Now that I am retired, I am picker about my workmates.

I have experimented, fiddle with, cut out fabric, painted, colored all kinds of birds for my Bird Art Series I want to make.  Nothing has inspired me until I purchased Intense Ink Pencils. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBJ7_mXw1Uo    I will be using Linda M. Poole's method for her drawing technique, so stay turn while I make something today.

One another note, I have established an Etsy Shop for purchasing of my fiber artwork.  https://www.etsy.com/shop/justforyoutoo?ref=hdr_shop_menu
 Thanks for stopping by and please leave a message.
