Nature's Inspiration

Nature's inspiration
started when I looked up
high in a tree and saw this 
black crow with his iridescent feathers
and bright yellow eyes.
I then found this feather laying on the ground.
A simple little sketch became a dry point print.
My heart was so inspired after an artist friend showed
me the beautiful work of artist, Ann Wood.
After seeing her cute little birds 
I wanted to try making a bird. 
Never wanting to copy an artist yet being inspired 
by both the crow and the artist I choose to make a Raven.
I loved making this little guy.
 The whole process was intriguing, fascinating and truly delightful.
I see more repurposed fabric coming to life in my future.
