Painterly Fibers
A quick reflection on my own work. The piece to the left is done with the embellisher (needle felting machine). 
The relaxing, fun part of working with an embellisher is the "frolicking in the fabrics" mode that naturally occurs. This is not the 'Sewing' that I learned in 8th grade home ec. It is instead a very left-brained smooshing fabric and fiber around just for the fun of experimenting. But, after awhile, my art history background and fascination with figurative work starts to creep in. The Embellisher seems very painterly, and I am wanting to see how that can be translated into fibers being pounded together.
This piece is a work in progress.. send thoughts, ideas and inspirations.
Posted by sfenton at January 30, 2005 09:42 PM | TrackBackI love your style with this piece. I am a watercolorist and feel that this piece reflects a wonderful simple design. Just remember less is more in some circumstances. I love the piece as it is.
Thank you,

Serena,
It is wonderful to get your information and to see what you are up to. Someday we will see each other again - somewhere.

Yahoo!! Finally some of *your* work to drool over! As much as i appreciate all the stuff you post, it's lovely to see some of the personal touch now and then---i'm envious of anyone who can get their hands on that machine---i can almost see two Lautrec dancers in that composition!

Great to see some of your own work
