...it's a bird! :)

Ever since a friend of mine had a baby (about a year and a half ago - lol); I've become somewhat obsessed with starlings, as the baby's middle name is "Starling". I have no idea whether or not they had a European starling in mind, or whether they even had a bird in mind (!); but a European starling immediately popped into my head.

So when I found that bark while golfing, literally the first thing that popped into my head was "I should stitch this and put a starling on it." So (eventually) that's what I did. :)

It will probably be the beginning of a new bird series focusing on the birds of Ontario; but in the meantime, I've got to finish this one!

Nearly there...

Talk soon!

As you may remember, I was working on machine stitching on bark a little while ago.
I've been doing more work on this project, including,  as you can see here, some hand stitching. Although this is thin bark,  it's quite difficult to get through by hand, (who knew?), so it's been slow going.
I work on it for an hour or two, and when my hands can't take it anymore, I put it away for a week or two. Lol I'm punishing it for hurting me! ;)
Eventually, this piece will be done - it will go faster if I stitch in the correct direction - unlike here, where the branch is going towards the bottom of the pip rather than the top. Oops!
Did you see the moon last night? It was incredibly beautiful wasn't it? That rusty red lusciousness will be the subject of many a photograph. I was going to run in and get my phone, but instead, I called to BSP to come out and see it, and we shared it with each other, instead of all of you.
Good Solstice and Happy Chanukah!
Talk soon,

As you'll (hopefully!) recall, I've now moved over to Kit Lang Art, where I have a new post up.
 
I said I'd post here up until September, but my BSP is having major surgery on September 1, so I don't think I'll post here again.
 
Please come and join me over at

And if you choose not to, thank you for all the years, and all the comments, all of your support as I went through my ups and downs and ups and changes.
 
It's been really wonderful.

Last night I decided to paint something "really fast". I had been working on a fiber project so it was about 11:00 p.m. when I started, and I didn't want to get to bed really late.
 
I didn't do a preliminary drawing, just worked wet on wet loosely following a reference photo.
 
By 12:30 the painting was done, photos were taken and cropped, and it was ready to be blogged!
 
So I think the painting took about an hour - my fastest yet. And I'm happy with the result! Yay!
 
See you tomorrow.

Soooooo. You may or may not have noticed that things have been a bit wonky with my blog over the last week.

It's because I had a brilliant idea. :0)

So, about this time last week, late at night, puttering in my studio after having finished a painting, it occurred to me that my blog name should more properly be Kit Lang Art, rather than Kit Lang Fiber Art.

Fiber art worked when I made the switch from quilting to making art quilts, to making textile paintings - and it continued to work as I dabbled in beading and embroidery.

But since last fall, I've had this idea - a new direction in my work, and really, when it is gathered together with my paper work and everything else I do, I decided that Kit Lang Art would cover not only this most recent direction, but any new ones that arrive in the future.

So, last week, late a night, I went to my blog settings, and changed my blog name to kitlangart.blogspot.com.

And I woke up the next morning to find I had completely disappeared from the internet as if the last 8 years had never happened.

Not only were my regular blog followers unable to find my blog (it said it was gone!), all of my pictures on the internet linked back to nothingness. I was totally freaking out!

So the first thing I did was move all of my bloglovin followers over to the "new"(old) blog called Kit Lang Art, and then tried to figure out how to re-direct eight years of pictures and posts to the new blog.  Finally, I threw myself on the mercy of Blogger, and they said "We can't do anything about it. But we can change your name back to Kit Lang Fiber Art".

I of course leapt on that with many joyous virtual hugs of relief, but then realized that my Bloglovin Followers as well as the people I'd sent e-mails to were now happily going to kitlangart.blogspot.com

And since that was the result I wanted in the first place - I decided to keep the new blog.

So yay! New blog. :)

I'll post in both places until September 1st, and after that - I'll be moving over to Kit Lang Art permanently.

I'll look forward to seeing you there!
