#quilted collage

I was thinking through what else I’m looking forward to this holiday season and I realized I haven’t mentioned it on here, just on discord, but— MY MOMS BEEN MAKING ME A REALLY COOL ART THING??

I think I’ve talked about it before, but my mom has been a quilter for most of my life and in the last few years started doing these really cool fabric collages, and it was my turn to request one so I asked for a phoenix cause I’m obsessed with this one art piece I did in art therapy ages ago

Anyway, my mom has been working on it and THIS was the last update I got???

I’m so excited for it?? Can’t wait to see where it’s at by the time I get there this weekend

Though they are undoubtedly committed to the Cause, this unique research unit (combining Veronique, her Divine Fealty, and their followers with an out-of-time NEH Sleep Detachment squad) hope for a day when they can be something other than soldiers.

Rose River, New Oath, and the Divine Fealty!

A little while ago I made this fabric-portrait-collage thing of John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants for art class. @tmbgareok

Many changes were made along the way, as well as double that amount of mistakes. I’m still baffled that this was good enough to win Pennsylvania Art Education Association’s Fiber category award, or win a Scholastics Silver Key award, or any of that, but I’ll take it. I was frustrated at times because I knew I might not consider this my best work (not that I would be able to pick something that I would choose to consider my absolute best) and yet it was being the one getting so much recognition, but if anything it just inspires me to continue trying to put my work out there, especially pieces I’m extra proud of.

This was the reference image I used, and I swear I tried so hard to make him smile the frown was NOT deliberate thank you very much. Basically I posterized the image, traced the values, made pieces, cut them out, and then some other riveting stuff. Okay, but actually, it was a pretty fun (albeit frustrating) process. The idea stemmed from Bisa Butler’s quilted portraits, and oh my gosh, they’re these amazing full sized quilts!!! If you like my work here, I would give her name a search. I would also give it a search if you don’t like my work. It’s so weird to look at your piece on websites and be able to point out several mistakes when all of the others look perfect, but maybe the other artists feel the same way. Or I just need to get better, I dunno.

I’m so grateful to have been given this opportunity, and I thank everyone who has given me support and encouragement to continue making art. I also must thank John & John, the inspiration for this project. There’s not much competition against TMBG when it comes to being my favorite band, really. There’s no other band I know that doesn’t have a single song I’ve heard and haven’t liked.

Oh, that’s… yeah, that’s a lot of words. If you read all of that, hey, I appreciate you! And John, if you see this, I can’t wait to see your show in Pittsburgh this May! Thanks! :)

Been playing with monoprints and quilting. Mixed media, used a gelli plate with acrylics and alcohol inks and little bit of this and a little bit of that.

Picnic quilt (2024), found and painted fabric (with some Sharpie drawing by my 7-year-old child) and cotton thread, approximately full size (in bed-terms)

working in an art gallery and talking to a lot of full time artists has given me CRAZY imposter syndrome btw lmao

[goodpossums]

an art quilt sample. its about 14x18in i think.

pentel dye sticks, procion dye on top of some of the fabric treated with the dye sticks, and scraps sandwiched between a backing fabric and a layer of tulle so that when i free-motioned sewed it in the machine the little scraps wouldn't get caught in the ring of the machine foot. there's a specific quilter that does this and my teacher based on the idea to me but i can't find her name rn :(
