Pat Herkal
Pat Herkal is a fiber and bead artist. She is passionate about birds, not a ‘birder’, but. always aware of birds in her environment. This month she will have a flock of favorites from the wild and others created from her imagination. She uses photographs in books and magazines to create her patterns. Her birds are made with a variety of silks, many from discarded kimonos. The bird bodies are stitched on the sewing machine, stuffed with fiberfill then hand embellished with embroidery, beads, feathers, and wire. The more beads the better, especially tiny beads. Pat has fun creating, and when people see her work, she hopes it makes them smile. There can never be too much color in her world. Her philosophy is “More Is Not Enough”.
