Early beginnings of a piece.

I can't decide if I should go with a cream solid with the border or if I should go with the brown that I chose (it's on the stool there). Sorry the lighting is really bad.

Finished photo. I like the purple and had a hard time picking thru the other options for colors. still could do some touch up but overall it's pretty much done

used a hairlight, and one softbox to the right of me. and an umbrella on the left of me.. (reverse for model)

i am currently cutting this. two layers of print, five layers of fabric contours. already cut all the contour layers. working on the eleventy million red flower shapes now - eleventy million blue dots coming up next. i think it will eventually drive me insane.

*cinnamon shot it!

I tried to make a border like this tutorial but as I started, I found that it would take me forever to make so many pieces so I flipped the pieces lengthwise to make this border that looks like marque arrows going clockwise around the center which I kinda like :)

It's harder to photograph now that it's 36" square and bigger than the width of my coffee table so that's why it looks wonky :(

36 fabrics used, about 36" square, 2.5" wide border.

Blogged at free-falling.

fabrics I'm using in the shirt

this is the waistband / mainbody seam

basic claw finger shape...I was deciding if they would actually pivot or not. They get to be solid walled, though, since they are most likely to get bumped around

The sleeve of the Philosopher's wool sweater I started over the weekend. This is a pretty quick knit, especially using their two-handed technique. I used to hate knitting fair isle, because I hated dropping and picking up the yarn colors, but there's no dropping with their way! That's Tiki's butt next to the sleeve. It's nearly impossible to take a picture around here without various cat parts in it.

Another top that needs quilting. I fell in love with the fabric that reminded me of gem stones and put many colors together in this quilt.

I made this top when I couldn't talk for 2 months. Don't you just love acid reflux?

New lighter-weight due to "foam-frame" + more accurate form. This is the last time I remake this claw thingie. Seriously.

I wondered if I could make a whole bunch of ham ornaments at once in assembly line fashion..

between studio and kitchen table tonight...drawing, painting, embroidering, listening to Cibo Matto...

This video is very much IN PROGRESS, it's a very rough sketch of the animation I'm working on. My concept is to create a video that pays tribute to an annual family vacation using both animation and actual footage of my family's time there.

This preview was edited in iMovie (I know, I'm sorry) for the sake of time and storage on my computer. I promise I'm actively using photoshop to edit, and the final video will be in photoshop as well. Also, because I'm using old videos, they are low quality and bring down the quality of all the other files. Once I figure out how to improve this, I will most likely use that as my skill to teach the class.

I'm planning on the video to be around 3 minutes? I already have a lot of the footage that makes up this time. I just felt the animation was more worthy of an update.

(I'm also creating a website for my art)

I wasn't paying attention and totally cut those two middle front panels out backwards. WHOOPS.

Just testing a lay-out of overlapping pieces for the raised decoration of the gauntlet.
