This is one lone frame in the Cheaters Uncensored Vol. 1 disc. It reads "Eat My Ass", and it isn't like a subtitle or anything. I think some bored disgruntled editor made a fashion statement while this truck stop hooker was getting pummeled by some old black trucker. Life is so good sometimes.
When I was painting from a photograph, I used to draw the composition on the painting surface as best I could to try and get the perspective and proportions right. That was until Pam bought me a digital projector one Christmas.
Now, I connect the projector to my iPad and use that to make an accurate drawing ready for painting. Some may say it is cheating but is it?
David Hockney postulates in his book, "Secrets of the Old Masters" that artists going back to the 14th century made use of lenses and mirrors to create accurate drawings. Not all of course but many did and the evidence for his argument is entirely convincing.
Where an artist has drawn without such aids, there is usually evidence of a searching to get the form right. In drawings using optical devices, there is no such evidence.

I made these from one of the first sweaters that I attempted to unravel. I took it apart and started to unravel. It kept sticking, so I decided that it was just too felted to unravel.
I cut the front into two pieces and seamed it to just under the thumb opening on my serger. Then I serged the opening to finish the edges and serged the upper end of the mits. I seamed the part above the thumb opening by hand and picked up stitches with DPNs using some of the yarn I had managed to unravel. I don’t remember the needle size. I just grabbed some that were out. I did some shaping with short rows. If I do another pair like this, I will use a pattern for the thumb part. I was in such a creative rush that it didn’t occur to me at the time. I wound up having to gather the top of the thumb part a bit.
To finish the tops of the mitts I used single crochet.
The next day I tried again and was able to unravel the rest of the sweater. It was one of those that you have to do winding two balls, a real bugger to unravel what with the sticking and that issue.
The yarn is a bit scratchy for elbow length mitts, but bearable. I’m wearing them as I type. :)
