Inspiration: Tod Hensley

May 27, 2013 by Denise Felton 4 Comments

This new work by Tod Hensley of Flying Haystacks is so rich in design, stitch, and color that I can’t stop studying it. Tod says,

I talked about hand making multi-colored floss which I use a lot of here. I also seem to have gotten temporarily possessed with pointillism. I am expanding the use of collage and I think it will increase.

Yea! All good news. Rock n roll, Tod. Go to his blog post to see more views of this awesome piece.

    Hi,

    I’m sorry to share the news that Tod Hensley has passed away. Sadly, he took his life, after struggling for many years and especially in recent months with depression. I thought you would want to know.

    Here is his obituary:
