With spring in the air, lots of birds are returning and anxious to make theirs nests and claim their territory.In their haste, feathers fall, I pick them up.....here they are. A small bit of 'fluff'[dryer lint] lies in the grass below. The flowers are made from those plastic rings that keep a pack of cd's from moving about, I cut them in half and stitched them down on a small piece of dupioni silk. The grass in the front is painted dryer sheet, and on the left... right in the corner is a piece of that plastic found as a divider in the sushi take-out tray. I feel this piece relects the theme in its whole,all parts of this piece are recyled 'leftovers', cast-offs and would normally have ended in the trash. It is quilted by machine. It reflects the 'earth', as in where I stand to enjoy this fresh new season.
