Found object portraits!


One of me, one of little orphan Annie. I managed to make Annie look nice enough with my camera, but I'm not quite sure how to document the sewn one... Hmmm. Oh well! In other news, I think I'm going to be eating pasta for a while (hahaha).

A Giraffe Named Giselle!

Children's book cover! (: I'm pleased with how it came out. I love working on a larger scale (this baby's about four or so feet high??)...so much fun!! Wondering what I'm going to do with the bugger, though. Considering either selling as is, or painting over the text and adding a cute little starry sky so it'll be more likely to bring in some $$$ to pay for all that acrylic (which dries too quickly, btw; if only it were reactivated by water, like gouache). Anyways, enjoy!

Every single pinch of black you see is a word. Yeah, that's right.

Everything is going pretty well over here; just lots and lots of work! Finished this piece of Shiina Ringo (yes, that's the original photo; I'm not *that* twisted...). Wanted to do something digital, but my computer (among every other electronic I owned) blew up that weekend, so no luck there!!

Also included a quick one-day project of redesigning Bigelow's tea design. Not too happy with it, so I'm going to rework, of course. Expect that up in a few days, hopefully, along with a lovely 100% sewn piece I did a few days ago (Once again, a few things are amiss on it, so I'm slow to taking a picture until I fix them. What a perfectionist!). Aside from that, another piece that was very unfortunately rushed, due to my broken lap top. It's a mock up for a mini art-book comic-book-esque cover-thing I'll hopefully be putting out for Planet Comicon next year, or just selling VIA internets.

While I'm not the happiest ever with these pieces, I figure it's better to post something rather than nothing!! (: Enjoy boys and girls.
