It was very soft, grey, but when I looked a little closer, I saw some of the tiny snippets of my contemporary quilting fabrics...little triangles, very small...but these little pieces of fabrics were sandwiched between dog hairs..."maggie" and "boomer" over twenty years of dog hairs that ended up in the closet. Dalmatians, they were ...so the black and white pointed hairs became a gray nest. A mother mouse must have taken months to create this little work of art. It was a little blessing indeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9080709925818617246.post-72752172433566878432012-06-05T09:54:12.860-06:002012-06-05T09:54:12.860-06:00They are just darling!

I am saving up to get the silk supplies as I am running out of a lot inks etc. I am hoping to put a few things to sell in September if I am brave enough. I think your work would sell but that maybe Etsy/Folksy is so big it doesn't showcase your work.Elderberry-Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197689596360708239noreply@blogger.com
