this was a new experiment - i etched the photo into a loose sheet of very thin paper and then glued it down over a collaged area.
I took a break from having work done on this for about a year. Last month, I started up again, with about two hours on the jewelry and skulls, and last night my artist did the scarf on the left.
I found the January session really trying and was actually a little shaky afterwards. Last night, however, was no problem at all. I expect, at the pace I'm going, this should be done by the end of the year.
Hi, dears! Here is the initial preview of the happibug traveler! She can't wait to get on the road and meet you all!
A few things to note: Her make-up is in progress ... not sealed yet, so she'll have more subtle freckles added, this is just a first layer ... and some details added to her lips + gloss, of course! She'll have lids painted to match her shadow with a design that suits her theme. She's borrowing an extra eyemech right now. Thanks for stopping by to see her! ♥♥♥

I started this temari with the intent on making pattern 99PG04 on Temarikai. About a third of the way complete on the interwoven pentagons, I realized that I wouldn't be able to complete this as intended. The small triangles aren't supposed to be there, the three black threads are supposed to meeting there. And, I had stitched up too close the the poles. So, I could stop and rip it out and start over or I could continue and just do a more basic interlocked pentagon pattern. I decided to continue since I was enjoying how the colors were working out.
This is a work in progress. I paint on suede board. I use both soft pastel sticks and pencils. I bruse the suede for my drawing that way I have no pencil lines to contend with.
Mixed media embroidery inclusions of gel transfer images on buttons, fragments of homemade textured clay, tin can beads, metallic and cotton threads, fiber covered buttons on felt laminated red velvet. The piece as shown here is not completely finished. More stitching was added to the background between the pieces. I will post another copy soon.
The piece was created as a tribute to Haïti victims. The fragments of discarded pieces speak of rebuilding from scraps and foreign aid. The stitching (spirals) are both the destruction and reconstruction energies present. The seed stitches mean planting and new growth. Threads are representative of relationships holding things together.
Cilla... a little girl from an English village in the 60's... who wanted nothing more than to be a pop star. But now that she's achieved her goal and had many hit records, she finds her greatest happiness is at home with her friends and loved ones... she takes to the stage and gives a great show - but loves to return home to quiet times and her "roots".
