Fabric art

I recently started a new project cos that's what you do when you already have 10000 projects on the go at once.

I seem to be stuck at moment on cockatoos and animals. Just love how they make me feel. I live in a rural area in country Victoria and every day i wake up and go outside to sit and have a cuppa and get serenaded by the wildlife here.

They really inspire me to create and give me reasons to keep on creating.

So a friend of mine called Carol Moyse is a photographer and she is just brilliant. Her photos are so crisp and clean. After asking for permission to use her photos for inspiration i first painted a cockatoo in acrylics on canvas which i have shown you all before. But here it is again.

This is THE PIRATE

This painting is for sale by the way.

I then was inspired to create an art quilt using another of Carol's photos.

So far it's still a work in progress but i am loving the texture and results. I will eventually throw sone paint at it as i can't help myself. I have already painted the background fabric out is sewn to.

So keep an eye out for the finished product.

Here are some progress pics.
