This was a 2 for 1 Challenge. I had the Fiberactions Challenge word "Departure", & the Calendar Girls challenge "Our Inner Animal". I decided to make a Raven, who has been very special to me ever since I came to Alaska. I do like to wear black, but love other colors too, so I started on him by thread painting with neon brights, then over laid them with the blacks. I surrounded him with bits & baubles of fused glass made by my BFF Mindy, & friendly plastic, & a bit of jewelry. The background includes Angelina Fibers under black Tulle. I did Thread play on Wash-away stabilizer for both the Raven & the cabochons to hold more glass galaxies on the upper left. The background moon is glow-in-the-dark fabric.

This one is super cool! One of my favorites so far!!
You outdid yourself with the subject and execution this time-I love the depth of color on the crow and the use of 'jewels'-just the right touch!
So cool, Deb!
Wow I like this one a lot, very cool Deb!
I really love this peice!
Wow, so gorgeous! Very striking!
This is stunning! I love the hints of color under the raven's black -- it lends a wonderful iridescence.
He is AweSome!! Everytime I told Pam (Floyd's step-sis) something you did or are doing....she'd say "Shut up Mel! It exhausts me just hearing all the things she does! (over achiever)" She's so much fun!
This piece leaves me speechless! It is beautiful, I love it.
