Treasure Hunt
Bubbling FountainsShirley B. Engelstein
Wrapping. Interlooping. Acrylic yarn with 5% metallic bound over loops created from various media including metal & duct tape on lucite bases. I would like the viewer to share my joy and excitement whenever I see the movement of water rising and falling – defying gravity over and over again.
Enchanted ForestShirley B. Engelstein
Winding. Mohair yarn is wrapped around linen cording. Sewing trunks & limbs onto heavy woven cotton fabric. I would like the viewer to be transported to a safe, embracing feeling symbolized by the “Enchanted Forest”.
AwakeningsShirley B. Engelstein
Embroidery, sewing by hand, layering. Awakenings…as day emerges from the night.
