SANDHILL CRANES

In the spring we always have the sandhill cranes flying over the house. They are in gorgeous V formation, rattling their calls. But yesterday I was up at 6 in the morning walking our house guest Sadie and was shocked to hear this incredibly loud racket, two cranes ( I think they were mating) back in the muskeg, chasing each other around and making this blood curdling noise. Sadie who is a 15 year old Australian Shepard  and normally up for anything was aghast! I love the cranes and am surprised to know that this is the only piece of beadwork that I've done to honor them.

  1. Blogger is a booger today. I've been trying to post a comment and couldn't. I just wanted you to know that I really like the outline in this crane piece. I never really noticed it in your other work. I've never seen or heard a crane. Bet poor Sadie was scared!

  2. Kate your work is always amazing. I love how you share your inspiration behind each piece. You are one of the greatest bead artists in the world. If I ever go to Alaska meeting you is definitely on the agenda.
