An Artist's Creations

My friend Gudrun is an amazing artist of many mediums. Here are some of her latest creations. She makes these wool capes, with wool crewel work embroidery, that you will never see anything else like. I adore her whimsical style. The cape is an ode to the evolution of Birds which includes the flying dinosaur (dragon) and the dino-chicken. 

 Her sculptures are of paper mache. I hope you enjoy her creations as much as I do.
