Did you know you can create an Exquisite Corpse of sorts by yourself? This piece was started before i finished the first round of the ECRR. I've so far used pieces from 5 different projects: a good way to use up UFO's, "off-cuts" and "Components":} The left arm is made from a jacket made 7 years ago, the right an offcut from an arch page, the body a scrap of painted and melted batting with a reverse appliqued hand painted and free motion stitched heart, and the head a sample i created. I have to add more hair---if the eyes are not placed half way on the head, it implies a small brain pan :}
Try It! Would love to see other "self portraits" or pictures done this way!

I just found your blog today by way of a poster on my blog. I love following links to see where they lead.
You have some GORGEOUS works of art here. I'm not home right now, so I have bookmarked the site to come back later when I have more time to wander through the posts and take it all in.
Hmm.. small brain pan or not.like all your art posted here..looks great to me..lol.

Hi Arlee, You are too funny! I used to teach self portraits to school age kids and I never thought to tell them that. I am sure a bigger brain is a great motivation. You have just given me some ideas for the start of my EC.
Thank you all! I have since made the lady's brain more intelligent:} One of my college professors used to go around and look at our drawings---if we have the proportions incorrect, he'd say"Well, i guess *this* one is a rocket scientist" :}
