Fly Away Home Workshop with Roxanne Evans Stout


Thoroughly enjoyed the three day Fly Away Home workshop at Shake Rag Alley with mixed media artist Roxanne Evans Stout. Fun project and Roxanne had interesting use of materials to show us.  

We made mixed media artist books with a birds and butterflies theme, plus a "nest" to hold our books. All of the participants made wonderful - and very different -  books.


We made the nests by weaving/binding wooden berry boxes. I really got into the nest. 
I imagined what a bird would do building a nest. 

Here's my nest in progress: 


Got quite a bit messier by the time it was done:
