Another thread painting ready to frame. This one was inspired by a photo taken outside of the airport in the Galapagos (third photo). This guy (or gal) was looking scrappy and a bit bedraggled, but there was just something about about him I found appealing. 🦎❤️

Getting ready to frame this one. It was a lot of fun to make. Still not sure what to name it yet, but I'm up for suggestions. 🦊🐦‍⬛❤️

Thank you @manormillmonkton for having me as a vendor at the Faerie Ball, and and huge thanks to everyone that stoped by to talk eco-printing! Here's a couple of photos of the piece that I unbundling at the event. My eco-prints can also be found in the Manor Mill gift shop. 💜

Leaf prints on a silk scarf. This one has a very light blue indigo background that's really hard to capture.

I completed this thread painting a while ago and am finally getting it ready for framing. It's inspired by a photo I took on a hike near Muir Woods in California. It's made up of many different pieces of fabric I painted with sun reactive paints, and finished with free motion machine stitching. For the sky, I used silk organza over cotton fabric in an attempt to capture the overall dreamy feel of the trail.
