I started working on making the long black skirt that I mentioned in the last post and was totally bored. I suppose it's not surprising really, it's a long black skirt. It'll be nice to have when it's done, but the process has left me feeling creatively snoozy. I need a project that's actually interesting and culminates in the completion of something pretty.
Last night I went through a few different needle art books I have to try and get something going in my head. One of my favorite books in these situations is Native Funk & Flash by Alexandra Jacopetti. It's been blogged about all over the place 'cus it's pretty awesome. I was lucky enough to find my copy at a used book store about 10 years ago for $3, not the $40 or $50 I'm seeing on eBay (wtf?) Anyway, I love the erotic elements you see in some of the stuff.
Some are subtle. |
Some are fully naked dudes. I don't think my husband would be so down with me making a quilt that featured an image of him with his junk exposed. What a square! And how about that orgasm inspired hem decor to the right? There's an idea. . . |
So we should be throwing what at weddings? Amazing. |
