here's the place for all and any kind of art involving thread, fabric, stitchery or you name it.
Profile Information
- About Me:
- Other than a couple art classes in college and one stained glass class, I am completely self taught, I create what is in me to create. I don't know where it comes from but I know it is from an energy source deep inside me that has guided me my whole life.
As long as I can remember I have been assembling life's fragments, making them whole, and making them speak to the people who see them.
My fixation on sun faces developed after I moved to Oregon, where the sun seldom shines.... I have been filling Oregon with my suns ever since, each increasingly bold, colorful and a force to be reckoned with. I simply refuse to live in gloom and darkness.
Statement:
In my artistic endeavors I specialize in putting fragments together, I quilt, I make multimedia sculpture and I create usable things out of discarded fragments, I alter books into art journals and life journals, I create spirit dolls out of forgotten fragments and bring them to life, I use textiles and fibers to 'paint' pictures of the fragments of memories that hold a place in my heart or mind, & of the inner workings of my mind, I also use fabric to convey political statements and to create visuals of the world as I see it. I reclaim furniture that someone else has discarded as having no value and give it new value in either my heart or the heart of someone else. I take old clothes, and remake or reinvent them... into something else entirely. All of this fragment reassembling and re-purposing has been a very natural path for me to travel. I believe in second chances.
My web site www.wildbohemian.com is not up right now, it is being recreated and moved to a new host,

These sunflowers were for sale at a farmer's market at Toano, VA near Williamsburg, Va, this past August.
Of course you saved the best til last... this is a stunner!
I have really enjoyed the flower show. Thanks for making my evening's viewing so enjoyable!

Oh now that's not fair... I am already pining for sunshine and warmth!
Still, there you go thrusting bright yellow (my vision of Summer) into my sight and I will have sweet dreams of sunbathing tonight!

These are so pretty and remind me of lillies with the colour variation on the back of the petals.

The colour of the flowers has amazing impact and really brightened my evening's 'surfing' too!
