Afternoon Snooze 8 x 8 inches (20.3 x 20.3 cm) Afternoon Snooze is an original whimsical textile mixed media artwork created with layered fabric and Swarovski crystals on cradled birch panel. Part of the Whimsical Companions Collection, this richly textured piece weaves together luminous color, intricate detail, and tactile depth — a quiet moment of pure contentment. A drowsy bear cub rests his head against a weathered branch, eyes closed in peaceful sleep. His face is pieced entirely from patchwork fabric — warm browns, tans, and soft blues in dotted, striped, and batik prints layered together like a quilt made from beloved scraps, each cut and placed piece forming his closed eyes and gentle smile. The branch beneath him is built the same way, its bark and knots suggested purely through layered fabric shapes, while a coral butterfly, its wings scattered with Swarovski crystals, has landed at its tip. Behind them both, the background unfolds in patchwork blocks of green and gold batik, grounding the whole scene in a lazy, sun-warmed afternoon. Afternoon Snooze is a celebration of stillness — of the small, unhurried moments that make a home feel like a home. This is a piece for the collector who wants a home filled not just with art, but with feeling. This piece is part of the Whimsical Companions Collection.
