Sculpting with Cheescloth Workshop with Mary Pal

Back in October 2015 I organized and attended a workshop with Mary Pal, an internationally known artist who makes portraits and landscape quilts with cheesecloth.  Here is my piece from the class at Kitchissippi United Church.  I took a photo I had taken of a White Breasted Nuthatch and have interpreted the tree in painted cheesecloth.  Then I drew the bird on fabric with watercolour pencils and hand embroidered in some details.  The background is hand painted white cotton with textile paint.  I just have to finish this.  I have a lot of unfinished pieces that I want to finish and mount on a canvas for Fibre Fling in April 2016!

Here's a close up of the bird so you can see the detail:
