Making progress.........


Using Mali symbols in the design of my sweater. The images tell a story. Now working on the second sleeve, which has a sad story. There's a jealous husband, a crocodile and a one legged girl. So the story continues as the sweater continues... how will the story end?

"Whats Inside Me"


This challenge came from Kat Campau's, Art Salad group at the Two Twelve Art Center. My challenge piece is now hanging at Kat's Hawaiian Getaway show at 212.
The main idea for this piece came from Megan C. accidently felting her wool socks. And, meeting with her mother for coffee every Wednesday, she gifted the socks to me, saying maybe you can do something with these... and Waa la, a face was born.
I have a passion for humorus art.

"What's Inside Me"



This up close pic shows , that her boobs are fortune cookies. I made her a felted heart, her arms and legs are felt strips with food labels attached. Her body is a clear plastic bag and her insides are a collage of labels.
