Crocheted bag, antique silk threads, 5" x 9" --Suzanne Deal-Fitzgerald, 1994
Bill and a few other folks have asked that I show what kind of work I do, when I do art. Wouldn't you know, I love textiles?
I've got lots of beaded work around here, but I need to take a toothbrush and brush the dog hair, dust, and red clay out from around the beads. Y'all know how it is down here in the South.
Here's a piece that I've kept wrapped in tissue paper. It's a small bag made from some antique silk thread that I found at an estate sale. There are at least 40 hours of work in this, and much more if you count the "thinking about it" time. I love color, and while I was sort of restricted by the colors that I found at the estate sale, I think I did okay making them play together.
