R.I.P. Heneral Lee

In memory of Heneral Lee, a real sweetheart of a chicken.  She was killed by a hawk today, but at least she ate tons of tomatoes and strawberries all summer long.  She ran to me every time she saw me and we'd coo back and forth to each other.  Love that big Brahma Mama!

The Ladies Burst Through the Door

Page 6 of my 18 x 24 inch fabric book titled Farmer Kim and The Feathery Ladies is complete!

Heneral Lee, also known as Brahma Mama.  Her and Relish (the black one) are the gentlest ladies.  They aren't (too) pushy and they don't bite others (most of the time).  

Placing the Feathery Ladies in Their Places

This is how the ladies and their eggs will be placed onto a big sheet of fabric that will be the blue sky and grassy hills of Wisconsin.  

I made an apple core for Honey because she always came to me in the morning on my way to the farm to have my apple core!

Now all I have to do is finish glueing the backs of everything with wheat flour glue so they don't fray and sew them to the hills and sky.

Finishing Up the Chickens

The Wormfarm Institute 2012 Resident Artist Show will be from October 12-21 and I still have a bit to do for my epic chicken piece.  It's really just a matter of finishing Heneral Lee and sewing the ladies, eggs, and fried eggs to one sheet of fabric but I had better get a move on it!
