Finished partridge quilt 12" X 12". Partridge is hand painted with acrylics and is perched on a piece of Melaleuca leucadendron bark. The background is hand dyed wool bordered in hand painted, stamped and inked grafitti duck cloth. The cat tails are wool stalks with cashmere and velvet tops beaded and sequined. Added threads, vintage buttons and vintage gray rick rack complete this fun little art quilt.

Partridges transferred to high count white cotton and painted with acrylics. These will be part of an art quilt soon. I think I like painting with watercolors better but these guys are ok

Partridge, no pear tree

Perched Partridge. I have been sketching pears lately. My mind wandered to partridges although I don't understand the connection. I have never seen a live partridge. I have never seen a partridge in a pear tree. I have seen a pear tree and remember that the pear I ate from that tree was the most delicious pear.
