textile craft

I am really growing to love textiles in craft. These stitched works of art are particularly lovely to me this evening. Even though it's the first of June here in Oregon; it feels like November! Cold, rainy, and no sunshine in site for days to come...I even made myself a baked potato for dinner! These images from Emily Eibel have just the right bit of cozy for this evening.

This one (above) reminds me of a certain hike with a "cougar" encounter underneath some power lines...you'll have to ask DB or I about it someday. Below is such a great representation of Portland...the evergreens, the beard, the pug...

I think this one (above) is my favorite! Such lovely colors...and so peaceful...

I wonder if Emily was a contributing artist on this Bright Eyes video?? There is certainly some shared bits of inspiration! Whoever did it sure is full of lovely textile talent!!

Treasure!

Well; this is quite obviously a spattering of posts based on my awesome thrift-store finds this weekend. I have one last little treasure to share...

A pewter forest-scape complete with a deer family!

This wall is a work in progress; as we continue to collect fun little bits and pieces; I will post the progression :)
