This is a nest. Well it will be when it is finished for our "Nested" exhibition - which finishes up as the Craft Fair and Queensland Quilter's show kicks off - and they are almost adjacent venues at South Brisbane! A trip to Reverse Garbage yielded small packets of furnishing fabric squares which I then played with, added lutrador that I had already painted and stitched and in some cases burned - then cut them all up into uneven strips. The strips have then been reformed into a nest - and there's a lot of embellishment required so lucky for me I'm up to the task! Below is the bird's eye view of the inner lining soon to be transformed with beading.

Looking good Ali.
Nests - the word itself is so evocative - and the pieces are just wonderful. Thanks for sharing. And you MUST share time and venue details of your exhibition - some of us have short term memory fade....
