Parisian Carrot Sewn: 1 down, 6 to go!

I have finished one of the 7 vegetables/fruits for my piece for Chicago's 12 at the Garfield Park Conservatory.

I made up the pattern...this was not easy!  But it worked out.

Tada!  Parisian Carrot, a 19th century french heirloom.

I cleaned my studio so it would be easier to make artwork.  I had to take a picture because this is a rare sight!

Now I must start making the Moon and Stars Watermelon!

Tall Grass and Clover

Here is a piece I started on my first day here.  I finished it yesterday.  Having all this time to make artwork is allowing me a chance not to stress over if it will be good or not.  I will have to keep this stress-free art making attitude when I leave.

The image above is upside down.  This is how I would like the piece to actually be seen but I don't have enough pins.

(the piece is upside down) A closeup of the clover.  There is a lot of grass here.  I have sewn the dirt and tall grass.

3 paintings I did before I decided it would look best done with fabric.

More grass!

Trouser, he is such a sweet buddy.

This is the outside of my bedroom.  It is inside a big barn.  There are 3 bedrooms inside and 3 studios.

Here is the inside.  I feel like I am living out my childhood dreams with this awesome setup!

Wisconsin is beautiful.
