A personal narrative of some of the touchstones of my life’s journey across America and back again.
The foundation is machine pieced ecoprints on various fabrics to which I layered fused sections of ecoprints and digitally altered photos on fabrics – some partially handpainted. I stenciled dragonflies and printed a handcarved softblock with acrylic paint with added painted touches. One commercial stamp is used and I added some asemic writing with acrylic ink. Free motion stitching emphasizes line and adds to the value contrast. The last touch was to add a “prayer bundle” that was made in the very beginning to appeal to the Muses for inspiration for my ideas to take flight.
