As still bare branches
Cast purple shadows--silence
Breaks when crows caw life.
On the first morning of the challenge I sat by my dining room window watching the morning rise. Winter gray skies and a certain stillness kept me enraptured until the cawing of crows signaled the beginning of a new day.
I used painted and stitched paper-cloth to construct this piece.

Kimberly, The haiku and your piece complement each other so well.
I really like this piece Kimberly.. isn't paper-cloth just so much fun! I like the abstracted crows.. it fits your Haiku perfectly.
Thanks Elljay and Carole! I started making paper-cloth in the summer and have been transformed by it. It's really fascinating to work with. I'm still playing with it to discover new possibilities.
Great piece, very nice serene colors. Good job on this challenge.
I love this Kimberly. Is the background painted as one piece, or are the mountains a seperate piece?
Cherie
I love the organic shapes and colors of this. Your haiku is lovely, and your abstract expression of it really compliments your words. I have done a small amount of paper cloth; your work makes me want to do more! thanks.
Hi Cherie, The mountains are a piece of somewhat distressed tissue paper that I applied to the background using gel medium.
This truly looks like winter to me, Kimberly - those bare trees, your color choices, and those irritating old crows. Or maybe your crows aren't as irritating as mine?
