Here's Ellen Harding Baker's "Solar System" quilt.🧪
This is the story.🔭
Back in 1876, an Iowa mom with 7 kids, E. H. Baker, decided that cooking & raising children wasn’t enough for her.
She started working on a wool quilt showing the solar system.

“COMFORT” It is something we all need.
This sculpture’s essence is all about it.
I have sculpted the clay form & fired the piece, then painted & smoothed the surface before drawing on it, creating a layering of individual graphite lines that join to develop the finish that flows with the form.

It’s a huge surreal oil painting of two close friends conversing in a tropical African village. The painting is notable for its use of improbable colors, which create a dreamlike and otherworldly atmosphere.

Enigmática "Ave do Paraíso" (1905) de Ivan Bilibin.
O trabalho apresenta Sirin, um pássaro mítico da tradição eslava que incorpora beleza e melancolia. Sirin, mulher com corpo de um pássaro, diz-se que traz mensagens do além e tem a capacidade de hipnotizar com sua música.
