Bast + Blog — fiber

I've lived my whole life close to the water and I feel its pull on my heart and soul every day, so Dreamer No. 24/100 is really special to me. This was commissioned as a piece based on Dreamer No 8 (from this project) in shape, but with inspiration derived from the ocean 🌊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The dowel is a piece of foraged driftwood from a Pacific Northwest beach, the feathers are reminiscent of those of seabirds, a beachy twine accents the feathers and the hoop, the webbing is made from twine with a ribbon of silver in it to reflect light like...

I'd love to know what you think! See more details in stories and on the blog and let me know your thoughts here in comments!
