Out On a Limb
Textile Art by Monique Kleinhans
Our chickadees are some of our constant companions here at 'the cabin'. They follow us around when we walk outside, with their curious chirps and their songs change when spring arrives filling the hill side with calls to each other. Some mornings when we don't get the feeder put out soon enough you'll find yourself surrounded by this cute little feathered balls as they flock to grab seeds before you're even able to hang the feeder up! I never get tired of taking photos of these sweet little birds and I also love creating them in fibers and threads.
In this piece I started with watercolor pencils on light batik fabric and then added layers of thread to create texture and extra shading in a process that I call 'twice painted quilts'.
