Big Breakfast Mitts

These oven mitts are an homage to the

"play food" of my childhood

and my husband's skill in the kitchen.

They feature interchangeable,

snap-on breakfast foods

and are made from 100% cotton.

This was my final project for my drawing class

where we were studying the "body as a narrative".

As a material artist, I naturally focused on the hands.

Lucy

"Lucy" was the final project for my "Intro to Fibre" class.

She's an amalgamation of techniques

that were covered over the course of the semester.

From her block printed sweatshirt

to her coiled Doc Martins,

she's a teen goth with serious attitude!

Monarcle

This is the "Monarcle", the first assignment for my "Intro to Jewelry" class.

We had to chose a bug and design a piece of body adornment that captured its "essence".

I chose the butterfly and designed this costume piece.

I see it being worn on the stage at a performance by Cirque du Soleil, or maybe at Mardi Gras.

It's constructed from hand dyed cotton, wire and acrylic paint.
