They have to be sharp or they'll drive me bats.
..my rotary cutters,exacto knives, kitchen knives, and scissors.
I suppose cuts are inevitable, especially considering that I swing through my art full-tilt.
When I cut myself yesterday, all I was trying to do was mount a photo on a piece of foamcore board so I could use it as a model for a painting on fabric.
After I cut myself, I stuck the cut together with sterile gauze and triple antibiotic cream and kept working.
I don't like the colors, but that has nothing to do with my cut finger.
Today I finally took the bloody mess to the doctor and got five stitches.
Now how am I goint to work? Specifically how am I going to be able to quilt this piece here?
On the other..uh, hand, how incapacitated can I be if I'm blogging about it?
Sorry about your finger. What we suffer for our art! What is it about cabbages that make them so attractive? I have made three whole cloth painted quilts of cabbages, basically using your same technique, but I used acrylic paints right from the tube, diluted with a little water. They came out quite stiff, but I still had no trouble stitching through them.
ReplyDeleteToday I'm gonna try again with Jacquard Lumiere.
