He has a great face that I will definitely have to get down on canvas...Also I posted a link to Karl Yost site, he does ceramics that I swear look like fossils.

It is better in person of course. What you cannot always see on her website is the crackle finish on her work. It is a very fine crackle that really enhances the work.

It is only 9x12. I say that because I was at about the same time working on a 18x24 abstract watercolor and ink work, which was taped to my kitchen table to avoid warping during the water color process. Obviously I got a little too comfortable with it being there and with the fact that I have a few cats.

I took the drawing of the butterfly and broke it up and then transferred it to the canvas. The texture was added as I built up the surface with tissue and paint.

I started making these because I wanted one for my backyard as we get a lot of bird visitors. I added the copper to the top of the birdhouse as an accent and to prevent water leakage into the house itself. (Oregon Rain). I made the sides easy to open so that they could be cleaned when the birds were finished raising their young.

All of the fabrics with the exception of the skirts is hand dyed by me. Since I don't have a lot of space and was fearful of my own clumsiness, I used a technique that involved mason jars. You mix up your dyes in small mason jars and then stuff your fabric into the jar. That way you can put a lid on them while they soak in the dye.
