Progress Report 3

Tuesday, March 16, 2010


Got back from Florida Sunday night and started working on my fabric sculptures again. I finished the sewing and washed the pieces to allow the edges to fray. The next step was to snip an incision and feed in some wire and fill each pocket with bird seed. I love the look but WOW...time consuming!!! I'm basically moving the seed down one or two at a time by stroking the outside with the tip of a chop stick! This process will take forever. Another thing I didn't account for is the delicate nature of my outermost materials...Silks. They are two kinds but both paper thin and just want to snag on everything. Here's a veiw of how the pockets look with the bird seed incorporated.
