Chicken-Inspired Improvisations
I ran a Kickstarter campaign in February-March 2021.
The idea was that the backer would choose one of the five chicken breed options, and I would weave an art inspired by that chicken breed (and an additional clue if they provided one to me).
These are the woven arts that I created, thanks to the backers’ support and inspiration. This page is updated as I weave more.
