I've been sending sneaky peeks and random feather photos out into the universe for a few weeks now.
When I came up with the original idea for my Feather Your Nest exhibition piece, I started making lots and lots of little feathers....
.... and then when I put that idea together, it just didn't work at all. It made no sense. No-one would have been able to work out what on earth I was trying to convey.
So then I changed it up completely and did lots and lots and lots of green stitching...
...and then hand stitched all of these little feathers into place to create...
Bird on a Fly Wire
The exhibition opens tonight and runs for the entire month of August.
It's also a satellite event of Craft Victoria's Craft Cubed Festival! There'll be lots of exciting exhibitions, open studios, and workshops to visit as part of this years festival.

Oh wow! This is beautiful.
Your feathers are lovely. They would make quite wonderful brooches too don't you think? I am always getting comments on your rainbow flower brooch!
Amazing Cam! I just love it! xx

i'm thinking about all the hours of stitchery that have gone into that and it's making me feel exhausted!

Ack, it's fab! I had no idea from the pics where this was going, and then I thought the green bit was a love heart! I love it! Quirky and pretty, like you!
Love your feathers, Cam, but your duck is truly gorgeous!
It looks awesome Cam. Can't wait to see it in person.
I love it. Just wonderful. And it makes me super happy. And isn't that what art is all about?
Oh my gosh! It's marvellous! You must be very proud!
What a gorgeous bird Cam, I'm always so in awe of your creativity :-)
I love the name! Yay for the great unveiling. It turned out great, definitely worth the wait. What was your original idea that you were trying to convey? I'm curious now!
