The challenge topic - Favorite Movie
This sounded easy at first but proved to be a bit difficult. Many of the movies I love and the parts that make me love them are more concepts and not readily expressable (a new word I just made up!) in 2D art. But someone reminded me of Fiddler and I knew at once that was what I wanted to do.
I love this story. I laughed...I cried. And many of the lines and songs from this movie are a part of our life now. One of my favorites is when Tevia is talking to God in the barn about wishing he were a rich man. "Would it spoil some great eternal plan...if I were a wealthy man?" And the relationship with his wife and the loves of his daughters...so many faces of love and devotion.

Fiddler On The Roof - Kelly
This piece has all kinds of my own fabrics - hand-dyed, snow-dyed, discharged, ruching, confetti dyed, stamped, drawn on, painted. Only the fiddler is not my fabric but black Kona.
I have a couple of other pieces that will be completed by Monday. LOTS of handwork these coming evenings!
