Feather Your Nest


I've been sending sneaky peeks and random feather photos out into the universe for a few weeks now.


When I came up with the original idea for my Feather Your Nest exhibition piece, I started making lots and lots of little feathers....


.... and then when I put that idea together, it just didn't work at all. It made no sense. No-one would have been able to work out what on earth I was trying to convey.


So then I changed it up completely and did lots and lots and lots of green stitching...


...and then hand stitched all of these little feathers into place to create...


Bird on a Fly Wire





The exhibition opens tonight and runs for the entire month of August.

It's also a satellite event of Craft Victoria's Craft Cubed Festival! There'll be lots of exciting exhibitions, open studios, and workshops to visit as part of this years festival.

A final sneaky peek


I'm terrible at surprises. Especially terrible when I'm so excited about something I'm making.

But, I've promised myself that this will be the final sneaky peek of my Feather Your Nest exhibiton piece.


My original idea didn't work (ie. it looked like crap and made no sense once put together), so I've changed it, and fingers crossed, it will all work out.



Now I just need to work out whether I've made enough feathers...

Feathered



 Oh wow, how time is literally flying by at the moment... feathers and all!


I'm still madly stitching feathers for the upcoming Feather Your Nest Exhibition at Gleaners Inc, but I've set a few aside to make the very first teeny tiny batch of Embroidered Feather Brooches.




I tested out the first prototype sample a couple of weeks ago and I've been wearing it ever since.

Here's Frances modelling to give you an idea of the size... these one's are in my shop.

I'm sending my poor little sewing machine off to the Day Spa thisafternoon. I'll miss her while she's gone. Thank goodness I have a spare machine, just in case of a sewing emergency.

My Creative Space


I've been turning this...


... into these for that.

I'm hoping to get back into it on the weekend.
