The Locals


I was recently invited to take part in an exhibition with the theme "Bird" – which is a wonderful fit for me, as anyone who knows me will tell you. My contribution is called The Locals, and features some of the feathered friends I regularly see around my area. This is a bit of a departure for me – instead of drawing in pen, I stitched the lines with cotton thread. Definitely a labour of love! My sewing finger is still full of tiny holes.

It's a little hard to see the detail here... but if you want a closer look you can always buy one :)

The exhibition opens on November 12, at the aptly named Nest in Tumbarumba. Featuring the wonderful Katy Moore, Wendy Campbell, Jane Moore, myself and others.
