the trill of the birds' promise...

sunday thoughts ~ 

the trill of the birds' promise, messenger of time  

dialects of song, relaying the universal language of seasonal progression; still remembering to recognize the circle of each new day's time along the larger path

traveling band of sound waves carried to hungry ears.  the epidemic spreading of an infectious joy

earth listens carefully; trustworthy provider, nodding to the call with breaths of warming air

slow, patient crackling undertone as the ground carries the thaw on a northerly trek and sleeping life stretches toward a new year

nest on a sprig...

new mixed media fiber art in shop... 'nest on a sprig'

needle felted nest with eggs, attached with vintage cotton thread to a real branch, painted a soft blue and wrapped in a fine floral cotton

twisting floral vines created by intricately wrapping wire in a thick cotton thread

the bird or the egg

phewwff... we are finally swimming out of the rain here in atlanta... in my befuddled, soggy state this weekend, i accomplished very little i must say (fortunately i was able to stay safe and dry in my home)... although i did take a pair of scissors to my hair for some new bangs. a new season always seems like the time for a new look (and i am rather impulsive when it comes to my hair)

the emerging sunshine has been moving my hands to create once again

just added this set of two pieces of mixed media fiber art to my shop... which asks the question of which came first 'the bird or the egg'

combining ink illustration, hand stitched fabric, felted and stitched roving, and needle felting on canvas, each piece is mounted on a vintage metal embroidery hoop, with a circle of wool attached on the back
