Wild Things





Flight of pigeons  .......  and a winged cloud!






Wild primroses













Beautiful glowing Dandelion.

Every year I keep a few plants in our garden for culinary purposes.
The young chicory flavoured leaves, which are rich in vitamins and minerals,
are a pleasant addition to Spring salads.


























"Dandelion"  -   Paints,beads and stitching on calico







The Intruder  -  a neighbourhood cat creeps through our garden.
While dogs sleep cats will play!





Thank you for visiting

Beauty and the Beast


Beauty and the Beast - The Universe within and without.
 Textile wall hanging : assorted  fabrics,paint ,gold stitching beads and sequins.




Detail



Bleeding Heart,or Lady in a Bath  :  Dicentra Spectabilis.




Beauty in the picture gallery of the Beast's  castle.
This illustration is from one of my favourite childhood books.




Now displayed in it's present home in Australia : photo by owner.


The idea to make this wall hanging came after seeing the Disney film in the late 1990's. The red and white connects
 with the book illustration,the star systems link us to the universe, and the heart to love,the healer.
