The last art work I did was entitled, "Lullaby of Birdland". It is made of woven polyester that I printed with my inkjet printer after coating the surface with a product called INKAID. The images were scanned from sunflower seed bags and altered. Then I printed several large sheets using Epson Ultrachrome K3 inks as they are both archival and colorfast. I cut the sheets into many smaller shapes and rearranged them into a kaleidoscope, pieced them on my sewing machine, then used hand quilting, embroidery, and all kinds of embellishments. Some but not all of the embellishments include: beads, pipe cleaners, paper clips, rickrack, springs, rolled plastic beads, glass...
It is about 38" in diameter.
