Submissions to Martha Sielman's Bird Book

Good morning world.  Almost to the very last minute deadline, I entered three pieces for a Bird Book Martha Sielman's is creating.  Knowing Martha's background in art textiles, the book will be an exciting array of birds and creative techniques. Look for publication in 2023.  The pieces I entered are work completed earlier in my artistic ventures.  Different techniques were explored and applied.

1. Bird - Embroidery on paper

1. Material used in the making of Bird are 8 and 12 weight embroidery threads on enco dyed parchment paper.  The paper was stabilized with light weight fusible interfacing making a surface that survived a heavy stitch without being torn by the threads or the large needle.

2. Raven's Wing was sewn using free motion and machine stitches.  The background, behind the raven is a printed and photo transferred feather.

3. Eco printed water color paper serves as the background for Raven. I saw the outline of a raven in the print and followed that for the hand stitched raven image.
