Finally another little guy joins the bunch...

Flash Back

Check out this bad boy...
That's my baby pillow, hand crafted by the Great Grandmother and it has, do doubt, shaped the person I am today. You know...like, I'm into rainbows, unicorns, happy sunshines, and cross stitching. =]

Update

Summery heat has arrived in Baltimore, so the dresses are free to be worn sans stockings/undershirts.

I already miss winter and scarves.
This circle piece is really starting to fill out. I'm trying to think towards finishing elements...we'll see.

Bubbles

I've had this canvas for almost a year but had no drive to do anything with it. Last week I was doodling bubbles all over my power point print out in class, and the mindless repetition it provided was pretty nice. So, this lead me to begin working the doodles out on a larger scale.
This is nowhere near done, and I will most certainly over-work it...as I do with most pieces. But I wanted to update the progress I made last night. Perhaps I will get more canvases and explore further repetitive mark making processes.

Update

This is a beautiful partially sun-blocked sunburn I got yesterday.
This is a cross stitch I did based on an idea I heard about. Not sure where it came from.
However, the execution is original...right?

Tonight

Stayed home and did absolutely nothing tonight.
Relaxation to the maxxx.

X-Ray Teeth

I wasn't ever going to share this, but I think it is too funny and it reminds me of home.

And then there's this

Sometimes things are just lazy.

Happy V-Day

Slow

Someday I will finish some of the many things I am currently working on every now and then. Perhaps scheduled crafting time is in order. This is something I am close to finishing, although it just looks white. It is cross-stitched white on white lettering. I'm kind of in love with it.

Also, it's going in a white frame eventually.

One last thing

I decided to give them faces, hopefully they're not too cutesy now.

Here is the second hoop that goes with the last post.
They're pretty cute as a pair. =]

Yeah, right.

Cold Beach Day

Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina.

#4

This is my most recent Hiller Goodspeed embroidery. Might be my favorite so far, even though it has fewer teeth than the original illustration.

Photo is coming back

I photographed the Lemp Wedding last weekend in Orlando. This weekend I will be doing some edits.

Just more. I think I know what I'm gonna do with them.

Heat Wave

It is insanely hot in Baltimore right now, and my house has no AC. It is making me a little crazy. I haven't made art in awhile so I decided to do some brainless embroideries to get myself reacquainted. The series I am working on (started yesterday) is just quotes from movies I like. More specifically- my favorite identifiable line from any specific film. The first one I did is from [500] Days of Summer and is pictured below, while the second is from Rushmore. As always, I found the back of the stitches quite interesting. I'm planning on doing some more of these until ideas start flowing.

White Out

Mmmmm, winter 2010.

1/2 Marathon

This is not art related, but you all need to visit my fundraising site for my Team in Training 1/2 marathon. I am raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and need as much help as I can get! Training is progressing, I have never been a runner or much of an athlete...but I'm getting better. =]
