Magpie 1

This exhibition is on at the moment at the Mildura Arts Centre, 119 Cureton Avenue, Vic and will run until Dec 13, 2015.

This piece is a result of my love of Magpies (not the footy team..Ugh). My husband and I have raised a few. They are amazingly intelligent and curious creatures. In this small piece, I have used printing, thread sketching and a sort of ‘Kantha’ stitch for the quilting. The background was screened with thickened Procion dyes with grass as a resist.
