wading bird in white

Roxanne and I have been talking recently about  making art that is monochromatic.  She likes that word.  I told her I was working on a bird that is all white. She made a picture all in orange.  Nice when we get excited about the same idea.

I'm pleased with the layers on the wings on this bird. 

Lots of punching and snipping and hand-sewing which was all made so pleasant with my discovery of Craftsanity podcasts.  Jen is a great interviewer and I really like how she thinks.  And I loved her interview with Amanda - it is so nice to hear people's voices after reading their blogs and thinking about their words for so many years.  I have 62 more episodes to listen to! Awesome.

And here is my photo assistant modeling a new dress given to her for Channukah last night from Aunt Jen and Uncle Matt. The dress is by courtneycourtney and is made from repurposed t-shirt material that is screen printed.  Totally adorable.
