This is My Heart on Dog. The day after Heather posted the prompt for this week, our dog, Rocky, had what is basically being called a 'cardiac episode.' He has congestive heart failure and aortic stenosis on top of a murmur and defective aortic valve. So all I could think about was a dog shaped hole in my heart. So here is my somewhat literal interpretation. Hand dyed cotton fabric, the heart was then painted with thread and I sketched in the shading with a sharpie. For the hole I cut a little bit of the fabric away and then burned the rest, so it is uneven. The piece is 9x9. Rachael
We are a group of artists coming together to create art on a regular basis. The challenge was put forth to make a finished piece of art each week for 50 weeks. Please join us on this incredible journey.
