I want to introduce you to Cindy Shake

from Anchorage, Alaska. Cindy is an artist and designer currently working in metal sculpture and fiber art design.

Cindy and I became blog friends a year or two ago after she revealed herself to be another lover of squid, while she was working on these gorgeous wall sculptures combining her metal and clay work.


Don't you love this flock of "Steel Wool" sheep!


The Raven, a symbol of creator and trickster in the mythology of the native Americans from the Pacific Northwest, pops up on occasion in Cindy's work.  I think these carved clay images are so beautiful.

Cindy also works in fabric, designing and making bold and graphic art quilts and she has recently created a new line of art quilt patterns called Raven & Friends.

If you would like a chance to get a couple of Cindy's new patterns, leave a comment and next Monday I’ll let a random number generator choose two lucky winners. 


Visit Cindy's blog and see all the amazing projects she's working on.

  2. I love this work! Delightful...

    Must tell you that you've created a monster: I made lots of felted pumpkins, then moved on to snowmen (very fussy to make, at least for me), and now too many ornaments! I'm having fun with these--thanks for the instruction and inspiration.
