"St. Michael and Lucifer" copyright 2012 Sharon Sawyer
This is the latest "St. Michael and Lucifer", promised in an earlier post. It's smaller than the first St. Michael, but uses some of the same material as the first. Like my other quilts in the series, this one is hand-sculpted from polymer clay, the hair is alpaca, the cloth is a mix of hand-dyed and commercial, and the piece is embellished with silk cocoons, feathers and sequins.
Since I made this quilt, we have bought a house, though not the one we were living in. The new house is light and airy, five years old, small enough to be energy-efficient, but big enough for our needs. It sits on about an acre of cleared land in the middle of five acres of birch and spruce forest, and there's a brook that borders it. We share it with our two mini horses, two rabbits, four cats and wildlife. We've seen rabbit tracks in the woods, red and silver foxes, lots of crows, and a bald eagle that likes to sit in the big birch tree in the backyard. We have no visible neighbors, and our nearest neighbor is about half a kilometer away. It's very peaceful and quiet here. We love this place. We love the Island, and the people who live here. We'll be staying.
