#ArtAdventCalendar Day 6

An abstract embroidery from a couple of years ago. I love the colour transitions that come from using variegated threads.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 5

Back when I used to make stained glass, I liked to combine glass with yarns and other fibres to get different colour and texture combinations. I really liked this red and green set of coasters.

Because why do one craft when you can do them all, I also make handmade books. This is a reversible palm leaf style binding featuring song lyrics from Tom Waits in one direction and Noah Reid in the other.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 3.

I'm obsessed with the forms and textures that come from embroidering on soft sculpture objects. These three seed heads use the same pattern with different colours and fibres.

I went way back into the archives for Day 2 of #ArtAdventCalendar for this jewelry box made from stained glass. Yes, it's all one piece and the drawers do open.

So excited for #ArtAdventCalendar this year! Thanks to @jayispainting.earthskyart.ca for hosting!

Starting things off with my most recent project - this hand sewn and embroidered Japanese rice bag (Komebukuro).

I've been in a bit of an art drought lately, but I made this little lino block this morning and I'm pretty happy with it.

So many choices, but I'm going to go with this House Hippo stuffie that I made from a kit.

May I offer the first wildflowers of spring in these trying times?

I know it’s spring when the honeybees discover our maple tree. (Volume up for loud buzzing.)
