TOO BEAUTIFUL TO USE

Recently I received this gorgeous handcrafted pillow in the mail 

from a remarkable Mixed Media Artist,

Jen Mullen of Bayou Quilts and Dolls.

I have showcased a couple of her pieces over the years under Professional Fiber Artist Jenclair,

but she is so much more than a fiber artist!

I hope you are able to take the time and pull her up in my search engine

 to see the pieces she has made for me over the years,

and to visit her blogsite to  see all that she does.

Her work is exquisite as you can see here in the close-ups.

When she read on my blog that I had retired she created this amazing piece for me.

It's too special to put on a couch or chair 

so my husband suggested I put it in a shadowbox type frame

and display it on a wall in our home.  

Brilliant idea!

The only thing about that type of display is you won't be able to turn it over

and see this very cool hand holding a pen writing with Kantha stitch around it.

Love that detail Jen!!

Thank you,

I adore your work and so appreciate all your time and energy you put into this.
