I have made some more progress on "Size Queen" recently. I heard myself telling a friend last week, "she has lips now!" I am excited to be nearing the end of this project.
As some of you know I started working on it last winter, February I think. It has been an arduous task. Most of the stress has come from self-imposed and school imposed deadlines.
Two week ago I put it on the long arm machine for the first time. simultaneously finishing the piecing on the last two feet. Its a big piece (in terms of art for the student show). Work for the show is normally smaller than 36" square. This piece is currently 108" square. my original intent was to make it 108"x156". I decided she didn't need a neck.
The Submission date for the exhibition is November 11th. Wish me luck and please come back for the exhibition-photo blog entry.
