I recently decided to finish this 4x6" piece. I made it years ago and didn't like it. I knew I might still like it sometime in the future and it seems, the time is now!

This is an entirely new piece. It is based on a photograph of Nina Simone, one of my favorite jazz singers. I can just hear her belt it out while gesturing like this.
Thank you Nina! You've made me sing, laugh and cry. Good job.

If you want to see this one larger and with a detail shot, you will need to check out my gallery. This is finished.
I had a bunch of fun doing it and can see some further explorations with some of the images within this one. I named it Thanks Andy because of Andy Goldworthy, who inspired the embroidery in the top right corner. Rent the documantary Rivers and Tides, you'll see what I am talking about. Fabulous movie.
So all of these are up in my gallery pages.
My Man and I went to an art show today. I just have to say that I love the work of Baptiste Ibar.
