I am finally back on the blog after the Soulumination Artists' sale which inspired me to make many of the "Second Stories" art pieces using recycled sari silks and other fibers/fabrics. I sold 9 of them to people who will hang, use as an altar cloth or a display for a Nativity scene, or a pillow cover or whatever way they enjoy them. I am very pleased.
The purple is one of the sold ones (Some more are also on my Face Book page Flowering Fibers.). And I am posting some others in various stages that are still available. I have so much enjoyed making these nuno mosaics and am already playing with new ideas and pieces while thinking of new ways to have the remaining ones seen.
Soulumination is an organization here in Seattle that takes photographs of families with a gravely or terminally-ill child or parent, leaving the family with a loving record of their time together. I will continue to donate 25% of the sale price (as at the Dec. Artists's sale. I will be listing some of these one of a kind pieces on my new website FloweringFibers.com
I'm also including a photo of our family's beautiful bambina and beautiful mom admiring one of my pieces at the sale!
These are so beautiful!!!!! Please post a tutorial on the process, I've been making felt for a few years and recently purchased a embellishing machine. I would love to nuno felt but not sure if I have the right idea on the technique!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Ginny, such a worthwhile cause!! Your work is stunning and your bambina is adorable!!!!

ReplyDeleteWonderful art pieces and adorable bambina. Seen your other pieces in Facebook also such a stunning work. Your kind charity heart behind is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks to all of you for your comments and appreciation! There is one "in process" picture here-the green and magenta pieces are laid out before felting; I'll not likely post a "tutorial" but can show more steps at a future time or go back over past photos and see what have that includes more steps.
