A wonderful journey of sharing and caring. Some leaves are the friend of the TREE OF LIFE.

Linen, thread, paint, pastel, and book page (trees of Texas – American Beech page).
This leaf is my very first mixed media piece made with a sewing machine. I hadn’t touched a machine since home economics, and that was a bad experience. I had the good fortune to join the Dallas Area Fiber Artists where our president very generously offered her old machine for me to try again! And I took heart and courage and approached the machine again. That’s how this leaf came to life. A meeting of opportunity, generosity and courage.
Karen Hodges, Reynolds, Georgia
Upholstery fabric; DMC embroidery floss couching and straight stitching for veins and embellish ding dragon fly.
I am predominantly a water media artist in non-representational style. I also design bead jewelry and do stone sculpting and like to work with fabric. I’m a signature member of the Georgia, FL and National Watercolor societies. I’m mostly self taught.

The only thing we can predict about the pattern of our loves is that it will bring us together.

Thank you for gibing me the opportunity to participate. I can’t wait to see the leaves.
