Fiber

embroidery on black fabric with a multicolored threads featuring an image of the sun with a face smiling, the sun has one tooth sticking out on the bottom row. There are 5 little suns encircling it.

When I make artwork with fabrics, I think about my experiences: growing up, I had dolls and played with them in fields of flowers by my home. I also look at a lot of books. I go through the images and pick a different doll to embroider onto a quilt or make into my own doll.
