the next endeavor...

...south philly. 

cross stitchin'

a little sketch i was working on over spring break just for the hell of it. i was tired of tracing things, and i just wanted to draw freehand, so voila. here's my rooster that i eventually want to do in cross stitch or paint.

Thesis update

just got my yardage back last week, and they are a little bigger than i thought. but then again, 3 yards is 3 yards... 9 ft... 108 inches. oh yeah, and they won't be pooling on the ground. i plan on suspending them from the ceiling so the bottom just hits the floor. 

so here i am starting to embroider the yardage. it's definitely going to take a long time, but so far i have two colors done on my west philly print. yay! still a lot to go though...

some details of the embroidery done so far. 

soooo, i absolutely have so much more work to do, BUT i'm in a good spot!

i want to be here right now

found this picture on flickr of skogafoss, iceland. new favorite picture of iceland... for right now. soooo amazing.

Finalized prints for thesis

so, thesis... here are the three prints that i finally finished for my thesis work. based on north, south, and west philly residential neighborhoods these back and white prints will be printed on 3 yards of sheer silk organza and will be embroidered upon. only a month and a half left! :/
