Fiber Lovers

Good Gourd, it's Adam and Eve!

Professional model Mary Stanford and Adam - check out Adam's anatomy! :^)

Beginnings of The Lovers fiber piece...







Two nights ago I started working on this fiber wall hanging based on The Lovers tarot card. It's an Adam and Eve in the garden scene (a recurring theme for me as you can see here, here, here, and here...)

And here's a bit of synchronocity - the model who posed for my portraiture class yesterday at MECA , Mary Stanford, brought in these fantastic Adam and Eve gourd dolls from Mexico (top photo). Don't you just LOVE them??

Worked on The Lovers again this afternoon - here's the progress. I'm almost finished...it will be heading over to my etsy shop...

Hi Ellie--say hello to Alec for us and maybe think about you two coming up for a visit--this is Alec's aunt.

Hi Martha, this is great--looks like the figures are see through, but I think they're made from felt? Did you paint in the background a bit on their legs? Nice!!

We lost our father to cancer, too. It was so hard and sad, but I remember feeling so relieved for him that his ordeal was over and that he was free.
God Bless You, Ellie!
