I made this bib from bend the rules sewing a few weeks ago and just finished the little flannel pants and matching onsie for my soon-to-be-nephew.
November 14, 1954 Northern Italy
Tiny men with long hair and huge eyes steal rabbits from a farmer's hutch.
Upon his recovery, The Alien was locked in a Biosafety Level 4 Isolation unit. He takes the time to think of his Mother and the horrible Roswell, NM crash in June, 1947. What started as a family outing to Earth, quickly spun into a massive cover-up involving unimaginable, painful, medical testing and days of interrogation. Unable to communicate telepathically with the thick skulled Earthlings, his family slowly wasted away in confinement. Only he survived the inhuman ordeal.
Now, more than ever, he knows that his only chance for life is to escape. He must get free. She, who must be obeyed, is waiting. If she only exists as a dream, a flight of fancy, he must focus on her .......He feels waves of energy being transmitted by a hoard of unknown beings ....... She will, Her will, His will, will win. Or will it????

Alien She
Sep 3, 2015 – Jan 9, 2016
Alien She, curated by Astria Suparak + Ceci Moss, is the first exhibition to examine the lasting impact of Riot Grrrl on artists and cultural producers working today. A pioneering punk feminist movement that emerged in the early 1990s, Riot Grrrl has had a pivotal influence, inspiring many around the world to pursue socially and politically progressive careers as artists, activists, authors and educators. Emphasizing female and youth empowerment, collaborative organization, creative resistance and DIY ethics, Riot Grrrl helped a new generation to become active feminists and create their own culture and communities that reflect their values and experiences, in contrast to mainstream conventions and expectations.
Riot Grrrl formed in reaction to pervasive and violent sexism, racism and homophobia in the punk music scene and in the culture at large. Its participants adapted strategies from earlier queer and punk feminisms and ‘70s radical politics, while also popularizing discussions of identity politics occurring within academia, but in a language that spoke to a younger generation. This self-organized network made up of teenagers and twenty-somethings reached one another through various platforms, such as letters, zines, local meetings, regional conferences, homemade videos, and later, chat rooms, listservs and message boards. The movement eventually spread worldwide, with chapters opening in at least thirty-two states and twenty-six countries.* Its ethos and aesthetics have survived well past its initial period in the ‘90s, with many new chapters forming in recent years. Riot Grrrl’s influence on contemporary global culture is increasingly evident – from the Russian collective Pussy Riot’s protest against corrupt government-church relations to the popular teen website Rookie and the launch of Girls Rock Camps and Ladyfest music and art festivals around the world.
Alien She focuses on seven people whose visual art practices were informed by their contact with Riot Grrrl. Many of them work in multiple disciplines, such as sculpture, installation, video, documentary film, photography, drawing, printmaking, new media, social practice, curation, music, writing and performance – a reflection of the movement’s artistic diversity and mutability. Each artist is represented by several projects from the last 20 years, including new and rarely seen works, providing an insight into the development of their creative practices and individual trajectories.

Interestingly enough, every alien comes with back printing, whether it's as simple as Snake's spine pattern or as complicated as Craniac's back armor.
The shape of the leaf with the red border attracted me. While processing, I was reminded of an Alien plant in a hollywood movie. Hence the title.. :-)
I'm rather partial to the aliens from Toy Story. My wife bought me one to play with. I got her to help me with this shot. She got to play with the toy while I played with my camera :-) E3176504
