But yeah, when you've already invested 80 hours in creating the materials, it makes it harder to cut corners. Otherwise, what's the point of all that initial labor? :)Penny Nickelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01315448721263304528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041721520728948464.post-10096703926113744112010-06-02T17:06:05.920-07:002010-06-02T17:06:05.920-07:00Totally.

I run a co-op gallery with my artist collective and after years of putting shows together, curating work, etc, I am still appalled when artists pour so much time and effort into a piece to only spoil it by getting lazy at the end and farting it up. It's like running a marathon perfectly only to take a nasty spill 3ft from the finish line. I can see from your details and such that you pour a great deal of love and labor into the most seemingly tiny detail, which is a wonderful and refreshing thing to see. I look forward to seeing what comes next!Elizabeth McTearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967261755737607395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041721520728948464.post-43760318516988213092010-06-01T19:16:17.749-07:002010-06-01T19:16:17.749-07:00Thanks Elizabeth!

So I thought I'd do it "the right way". Does that make sense?Penny Nickelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01315448721263304528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041721520728948464.post-3458864606083877592010-06-01T19:04:29.806-07:002010-06-01T19:04:29.806-07:00You must be a master at patience, what with the sp...You must be a master at patience, what with the spinning and dyeing of your own yarns and then all the labor-intensive OCD of embroidering and such.

The sleep mask is nod to Hypnos and Thanatos, and the invisibility mask is a play on shisha's ritual intention. Plus it has stainless steel thread in it so it's impenetrable!Penny Nickelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01315448721263304528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041721520728948464.post-18350630901506293442010-05-30T21:56:45.100-07:002010-05-30T21:56:45.100-07:00woah. these are so great, i don't have any id...woah. these are so great, i don't have any idea what to say. i'm amazed at your skillz. do i detect a trace of lucha inspiration?Drucillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03228978343783804866noreply@blogger.com
