Postcards and Noodling

The second meeting of our art quilt group is tonight, and I haven't progressed further on the bird's eye challenge than sketching two bird's eyes, tearing out a picture of Pale Male from the current issue of Vanity Fair, and digging out some feather trim (rescued earlier from the jaws of the vacuum cleaner) from my stash. Knowing what I want to do with the idea doesn't necessarily equate with knowing how to do it.

Instead of figuring out this puzzle, I've been noodling with more paint and Lutradur. This is too much fun! One small piece was painted for the back of the faux suede postcard below, but I decided to back it with a funky Kaufman print instead. More stuff for the scrap box, but that's okay since I seem to find more inspiration lately in little pieces of fabric than in big hunks of the stuff. Maybe I'm too easily intimidated into creating on a larger scale, who knows.
