we’re having an event here this weekend called wrapped in st marys … textile artists are wrapping the power poles in the town centre, and there will be a classic car show and other events throughout the weekend
this is my entry in the textile art competition; i’ve embellished the ties with beads to make them more a part of the wrap’s design, rather than just being utilitarian
i also made 3D leaves to embellish the lefthand edge
the background is fused and machine-stitched strip piecing in autumn colours, which is the current season ‘down under’ (winter starts tomorrow!)
four currawongs visited us every day for about 2 weeks, which provided the inspiration for my design; traditionally it means a storm is coming when they become more active and vocal than usual
this is the blurb i wrote for my description – the title is ‘4’ –
currawongs (dark storm prophets)
feast on fruit in our front yard
I watch as lightning streaks to
all 4 corners of the earth
