Work crush: Bruce White's velvet paintings

I've always been allured by velvet paintings. I have a few of my own, which I'll probably share in a later post of my plethora of tackiness, but for now, I'll just focus on my love for Bruce White's work. Someday, if fortune smiles on me, I'll have one of my very own.

Work in Progress: Memory of skin- a quilt to map and cover my scars.

This project is a double-sided quilt, mapping my body and the memory of my skin (aka scars). It is a long, slow going process to quilt all of the lines surrounding the body, but I plan to finish it before the semester is done. Note to self: never decide to make a double-sided quilt for an art class assignment EVER again. On a plus side, the scars are made out of lovely red velvet. mmmmmm.
