"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.

      I participated in an internet Haiku Fiber Art group for 2011.  I made a fiber art quilt and wrote a haiku every month,  after a key word was e-mailed to us at the beginning of each month.  I'm so proud that I stuck with it and made a quilt and wrote a haiku for every month of 2011.
