SERPENT
size: 97,5 x 129 x 5cm
medium: 100% acrylic yarn and pompoms
year of production: 2023
The rug portrays the mystical serpent, a powerful symbol of the divine feminine’s universal earth energy. Across local Bulgarian folklore and worldwide beliefs, the snake has been a crucial figure with profound mythological importance. In ancient times, people often linked snakes with healing. As an embodiment of chaos, fertility, and wisdom, the snake represents both fire and water, earthly and divine, as well as death and rebirth.

This project has been implemented with the support of the Bulgarian National Fund "Culture" under the "Creative Scholarships" program.

Lions, pheasants and flowers, oh my!
Tumblr media
I have a show coming up in Wausau in September and thought that a pheasant would be a good addition to my collection for that show. Found this great pitted piece of wood that I I had my husband cut into the shape of a pheasant body.
Tumblr media
Sorry I didn't create a lot of in process shots. I was in the zone and this project came together quickly. The tail feathers and bottom feathers were wet felted and wired and the head was needle felted. Upon first assembly, I realized that the body needed to be filled in more.
Tumblr media
I blended wool to match the wood coloring and found small beads that mimicked the pits in the wood.
Tumblr media
Sat with this guy for a couple of days and decided that the neck needed more texture to look more like a pheasant's feathers. I decided to build the neck up a bit and like the result much better.
Tumblr media
Close up of the neck - I think I will name him Dimples
Lion
Once I finished the pheasant, I had a cutoff piece that looked like a lion's paw print. I felted in the missing parts to complete the print.
Tumblr media
The paw print inspired me to make a second lion. My first lion (blog here) was sold at the Barrington art fair earlier this year. I have a couple of shots of the head in process that I can share.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This time I decided to create a mane with long locks.
Tumblr media
And Flowers, Oh My
I also completed a branch weaving that I really love. Again, no in process shots - sorry. This one started with a metal heart that I used upside down as a flower bud. I then wet felted 2 additional flowers that had similar coloring. The weaving is inside a branch that is long and skinny so I wove it as a bouquet.
Tumblr media
It has been a busy month! I learned that my python has been accepted for exhibit at the Confluence of Art Annual at the Pablo Center in Eau Claire, I am a finalist for the Keller Prize and I have added the Morning Glory show held in the Deer District in Milwaukee on Aug 12-13 to my docket so it looks like Aug is going to be busy too! :) Read the full article

🧡#ArtIsAWeapon #Artist: Bola Obatuyi @bolaobatuyi_art #Artwork: Bold and Beautiful ll • Reposted from @bolaobatuyi_art Don’t just exist, live. • • BIO VIA www.casildart.com @africanartfinder "Bola Obatuyi is a profound mixed media artist who truly brings her canvases to life using fabric and acrylic paint, often depicting the gentleness and the gift of femininity... Influenced by a range of artists, such as Oluwole Omofemi and Andy Warhol, Obatuyi’s artistic vision stems from her pre-occupation with women's bodies, shapes and feminine charm. Her practice strongly showcases the personal and political place of women in society whilst challenging socially constructed narratives about Black women." #textileartists #fabricart #mixedmediaartist #africanartists #artlover #bolaobatuyi_art #BlackGirlArtGeeks https://www.instagram.com/p/CnH1VthOjyT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

* I was honored to be invited by the Mixed Media Textile Artists of New Mexico to teach a fabric book workshop. I enjoyed guiding this wonderful group of inspiring women through my process of fabric painting and instinctual stitching, It was a blasty blast time and I hated to say goodbye so I said, “until next time” instead : ) A big thank you to @hootenannieart for hosting me during my stay.

We are thoroughly enjoying seeing Christi Johnson’s contemporary work living harmoniously with textiles from generations past ✨ It was so much fun to hear Christi talk about her process and inspiration at the NYTM event. All too often with older pieces we can only hypothesize what was in the creators mind, so it’s really fantastic to have an opportunity to learn from and interact with life with textile artists in real life. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #christijohnson #honorhandmadetraditions #texteart #textileartists #interwovennarratives #newyorktextilemonth (at Heirloom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjJAf7fLEhD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Muma Pădurii is a grotesque mischievous hag from Romanian folklore. Dwelling deep in the forest she cares for the native flora and fauna, scaring away those who threaten to harm her wild habitat.

Rise
30” x 50”
Tulle & cotton fabric
“Rise” represents the struggle we face when we rise above our personal insecurities. Even when we find our goals at the tips or our fingers, we are not immune to the tugs of self doubt, anxiety or worry.

This one is going to be hard to let go of…but I promise it’ll be listed on Friday with the others~~this jointed bear is made of upcycled vintage wool fabric (thank you @economyshopoakpark !) and the head is pinned to the body in a way that allows it to wiggle and pose very naturally. 😍 . . . . . . #bear #whitebear #beardoll #teddybear #artdoll #softdoll #dollartist #textileartist #vintagelook #plushdoll #plushie #ooakdoll #ooakartist #stuffedanimal #handmadedoll #heirloomdoll #upcycledart #wooldoll #dollmaker https://www.instagram.com/p/CqWc7mesOJB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s so hard to capture the intricacies of whitework embroidery on camera- so unbelievably subtle and yet so beautifully delicate! This piece used to be an item of fast fashion, probably destined for the landfill as there were some tough stains on the bodice. That’s where the brilliance of embroidery comes into play- it’s a fantastic way to cover over tough stains, fabric pulls, or even holes. Mending things makes me so happy. This piece probably took around 20 hours or so to complete! 🤍 🏹 #embroideryartwork #whiteworkembroidery #floralembroidery #upcyledclothing #whimsical #whimsigoth #textileartist #handembroidery #costumedesign https://www.instagram.com/p/Chr1hrZsO0g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
