In these days of looming AI we should focus on what makes humans special. We create things.

One frame. Two sides!

An embroidered wool figure holds a fish. A tag reads Fishwife. There are plastic fishes hanging below and the whole piece is encased in a wooden frame with double glass.

Nearly done with my Kingfish/Fishwife piece. Made with mostly recycled/found materials.

Love interacting with found fabric. This #swirly one was found in a thrift shop in Florida.

This is what happens when the NYT calls an out of print book, “The Funniest Book Ever Written.”

I started with an ode to #vangogh and #drgachet then I lost complete control. :)

I love starting with a small bit of #fabric and seeing what happens. So fun to let the #thread take me where it wants to go.

I think its a poly blend. I found it at the thrift shop. :)

#frigate #birds are kind of cool even if they look like the symbol for a James Bond villain organization when embroidered.
