I am a fiber artist living 20 miles from the Northeast gate to Yellowstone National Park. We live just off the Chief Joesph Highway. Walk, ski or snowshoe everyday. I am a founding member of the 1st Textile Art group in Wyoming, Textile Artists of the Greater Yellowstone. One last thing, I am terrible at updating my blog. I always promise to do better but so far I fail at that. Must be because I am busy creating art??
Raven #1 is my 12"X 12" for this months Textile Artists of the Great Yellowstone monthly challenge. The theme this month was "something you may not know about me". And so the Raven. I love this bird, they are fun to watch, they live to be well over 20 years, they have a great sense of humor. Not a single day goes by that I do not see a Raven in the area. They soar, they love the wind, they make everyday play time. Years ago, I met a Native American medicine man, he told me that my spirit guide is the Raven. I am not sure how he would know that, but since that time I value these birds. I have watched them closely,they make me believe that each one that I see will bring me good thoughts, good days. A happy life. They certainly make me smile. This is the 1st in a series I hope to make using the Raven as the constant in quilts.
