I’ve been painting with birds again; check out my Flickr stream for a few pictures of what I’ve been up to.
I also acquired some fine silk thread that’s been reinforced with an extremely thin (think 40 microns) strand of stainless steel. It’s really interesting to crochet with, since it holds a bit of shape, and there’s a very subtle sparkle when it’s attached to a painting. I’m going to be making some lace with it and using it in the next few paintings I’m working on.
