Prototype Prometheus: Munny Skin Suit

I am by no mean a seamstress, but I do dabble in the sewn art every so often. So when I set out to create a modular Munny pattern that I could turn to to create fast Munny shelf sculptures for the purpose of selling on Etsy with my other works. However I think it was a catastrophic mess, but I tried my best to make something using this overly complicated pattern.  

Laid out on the table the pattern pieces looked more like a Joan Miro painting than a Munny

Now how in the world was I supposed to push that through a sewing machine?

 Well here is the finished product, in all its badly mashed together parts.

I found something very inspiring in his work. You should check him out.

Anna Jude: Elfin Portrait and her kin

 I wanted to paint something that would fit this eerie frame that I found at the Good Will shop up the street.
The frame was a personalized engraved frame of some child named "Anna-Jude who was born in 1981. But there was no photo. The lack of photo got me instantly thinking of what I could put in the frame. And then I found a scrap of board that fit in the frame and VOILA!

My Anna Jude is actually about the birds in the woman's hands. The robins are named "Anna" and "Jude". The woman is their mother and she is complex: beautiful but dark, young but old. Much like a nice port. Perhaps I will name her "Portisha and Kin: Anna and Jude"

I was playing with a new watercolor technique. I think the sepia one was the most successful, despite making the center flower lip too dark.
