If you look closely you can see the outline of  a smaller

version of the bird that I began using on Day 1 the April Art Daily 2016.

create daily within my parameters.

I will do a black embroidered outline with black

Seed stitching within.

Thanks to my friend Gabrielle who challenge me to choose a 

word for 2016. My word is "STRENGTH".

So naturally after I did an embroidery black outline of

this bird shape on hand painted purple fabric,

 I embroidered "STRENGTH" within it's boundaries.

April Art Daily 2016 ~ Day 5

My original hope was to have a completed Fiber Art block daily

 but realized that's not the point.

 The point is to create daily and not worry about the outcome.

 Artistic Freedom!!

Black fiber screen on hand painted blue/green fabric.

 I'll applique it to the fabric with blue embroidery floss.

SOOO...Keep going my friends - I know it's tough but so good to create something daily.
