Haiku-word: Soft

"Pájaro"

 This has been made with paper and fabric and for the background I used paints and did hand calligraphy with a dip pen and inks.
The haiku for this piece:

" Soft is the bird's song

sense of happiness and peace

kind cry in my heart"

Sunshine silk scarf and pendant

I recently came back from my trip to Peru and had a wonderful time. I got together with an old friend from college whom I haven’t seen in 30 years!! She gave me an orange and yellow pendant design by her. It is made with fused glass and said it represented the summer days in Peru since they are very hot and humid. So, when I came back I wanted to paint a silk scarf that complements it. After I read the March word “sunshine”,  I figured I would  make a Haiku about it:

      The rays of sunlight

              glowing light on the new day

       embrace me fiercely

Love Haiku by Marga

"My darling sweetheart

I give you my open heart

release yours to me"

techniques: hand-painted cloth, silkscreened (human shape), paper (heart) and transparency transfer

My first haiku

You pave a new path

jump, bounce and hop up and down

come shine a new day

Techniques: the background fabric is a mono print. The top layer is a polyester fabric that has been laminated with old newspaper clippings with the help of a thermofax screen; this piece was then laminated with silver leaf and silk screened with fabric paint (jumping people). The "haiku" poem has been printed directly to a leftover piece of the background fabric.
