Traveling Light (4)

10"x15", assorted cotton fabrics, hand stitching, bronze beads, stencil and light molding paste.

My plan was to create small pieces and then gather them together as in a mosaic or manuscript. This was my first effort and I'm not sure (already is busy and says enough) if I'll add to it so for now I'll leave it loosely finished and see what happens. Staying with themes around direction, time, traveling and of course trust.
Update: 16"x15", new title "Finding Isiah"An addition of a digital copy of an ancient scroll on silk. NOW this piece feels complete. A big challenge putting this together and I'm back in the studio working on smaller pieces to grow together into one larger piece.

    1. Caterina, So glad you stopped by. I just love beads and today I'm teaching myself sewing sequins! Things move fast here in the studio...I will be posting the finished piece.

  3. Lovely! And I very much like the addition you made - it seems to balance the other parts nicely. What a wonderful concept to work with...I love the idea of bringing together a series of small, individual works into a larger piece. Enjoy!
