Your jar agape, your mouth a jar.

D eath is the theme of our next drawing project this term. I have decided to continue with subject matter that I touched on last year, jarring and pickling, for my next series.
The one in particular, featuring Charles Nelson Reilly, was my starting point (and will probly be included in the series).
For the drawings, which you can see I have begun (below), I've been collecting a bunch of images from old talk and game shows that are no longer on the air, and collecting famous deceased T.V. personalities, such as:

David Susskind

Brett Somers

Charles Nelson Reilly

Merv Griffin

Tom Snyder

I've been watching a bunch of samples from these 70-80's prime-time shows.... and I must say, think Match Game is my fav. Why not through 'em in a brine and keep it for all of time?

Let's get this show on the road

I will be pickling a few friends from the past...

H appy New Year!
Even though it's...like.. the 11th of January.
Well, I'm back to work now, and will have actual artwork posted soon, but for now, in light of the New Year's dress I made (below), here a few few other things I've sewn recently, and neglected to post.

(My presentation here is a little lacking... sorrow)

New Year's Dress! Cotton and Sheer, shiny lace that doesn't photograph well..

Romper! Made of super-comfy sweatshirt fabric.

Summer Strapless Dress, various cottons. It's nicer than it appears here on my dirty carpet.
