Good morning,
This is my mixed media interpretation of Bill’s photograph of baby sparrows in a crowded nest. I have encased my watercolor painting in a free-form weaving.
He found these hapless birds in a fake flower wreath near the door of a busy downtown business.
I did the watercolor painting on a six by six stretched canvas. After it dried, I pounded in the tacks and strung a warp of Perl cotton embroidery thread. The weaving was worked with yarn and floss in compatible colors. To finish, I poked holes through the canvas and gathered up the threads to create peepholes for the birds.
I’m not sure if I intended some kind of statement about the crowded world, or the clash of humanity and nature. Or maybe it was just a little experiment.

This is really interesting! I love the “peep holes”! And I absolutely get the feeling of a bird woven nest around those little birds! Inspiring!

This is very interesting! I love the look of the netting around the birds, in colors you wouldn’t usually associate with a bird environment. Nicely done!
