sampler

i keep going back to this embroidery scratching post thinking someday it will be "done". i like the back side as much as the front side. i like seeing through it and getting the texture of the hair and stitches as much as i like the shimmer of the nail polish spots on the peacock -like pattern (which is ..of course..not all that visible when back-lit).

stitching on silk, crocheted hair, nail-clippings,unraveled scarf, cut-up crocheted gloves, white pencil, beads, wood stain, nail polish..

it's important to accessorize

sceptor: whisk, hair, fingernails, wolf-fur. very regal. very you.

beginnings of neck-piece. reworking the veil's tiara.

harvest

new addition: florette pin-backs.

possible new solution for veil project. opens thing up a bit. less heavy and literal. more ghostly or pelt-like. a friend even described it as "neptunish", which makes me laugh. the older format of this piece did not make me laugh. ever.
