Greetings. The last few days I’ve been frantically working on finishing my art*o*mat pieces for the big 10th anniversary shindig this Saturday, in North Carolina. Here's how I make them...
I cut out a lot of little fabric birds
then I put them on collaged backgrounds of fabric and felt
I free motion machine stitch around them and give them legs & feet - that's what gives them their personality
next I hand stitch all around the backgrounds
I draw on (human) eyes, and add a chop that says "tranquility"
I put them on heavy interfacing and backing fabric and machine stitch around the edges...and they're done
So far I've made about 200.
Every once in a while I make one that wants to stay and live with me - like this guy.
peace.
