Yule Haiku and Fiber Art - December 30, 2011

Yule Haiku and Fiber Art - December 30, 2011

Sparkling baubles...
Glistening upon the tree...
My eyes dance with cheer...

       A designed and made this fiber art piece to go with my "yule"  haiku.  I made thousands of beaded icicles for my Christmas tree over the years.  I took a digital photo of some of these icicles in a crystal vase on my coffee table and then printed it on fabric.  I then quilted it and added real  red beads to the tree and many of my beaded icicles onto the photo of the vase.   This gives it a 3-D effect.   Fifteen of my beaded icicles were attached to this fiber piece.   It does glisten brightly.

Kris's Haiku Poems and Fiber Art

     I started this blog to share some of my haiku poems and fiber art pieces or photo that go with them.  This past year, I had two of my haiku poems chosen to  hang in an exhibit at the International Quilt Festival in Houston, Texas.  I discovered that I enjoy writing them and making a fiber art quilt  or taking a photo to correspond with the haiku.
