Son Worshipper

The next in the series is a piece called "Son Worshipper."  This is a sunny reminder of weather to come as I sit here watching it snow in February.  The inspiration for this piece was the little pair of sunglasses the little sister is wearing as she soaks up the sun.  Cathy Granese gave me a bag of cast-off jewelry which included a tiny pair of sunglasses.  They were perfect!  First I sculpted the face, hands and single foot (to put just one toe in the water).  I perched the sunglasses on her face and started working on the rest of the quilt.  The piece is made of various kinds of fabric and trim, attached to a painted, stretched canvas, 24" x 18."  This one always makes me smile!  I hope you enjoy it, too.
