arlee's 3EC





MaryAnne's manly chest:


Robin's lower torso:


Torso open:



Kaite's hips and thighs:



Miles' "feet" of a sort:


and open:




I've added punctuation so the poetry reads "The exquisite starlet, absorbed, ate colossal soul, dancing."

I would like to take this opportunity to give a little background on my feet "of a sort":
My portion of this EC was the lower-most extremities; namely the foot-slash-ankle-slash shin area. I chose to take my primary cues from two sources: A) That this is an "exquisite CORPSE" trade group thusly I chose to finish my participation with a coffin. B) I took my thematic cue from the movie The Red Shoes (where the dancer dies at the end, torn between her true love and her love of dancing). I hand stitched everything including the fabric coffin and the baby-doll ballerina slippers. Stuffed in the toe of each slipper is a pair of gorgeous red-and-silverleaf beads (funny how they were never mentioned) with quilting batting (a typical en-pointe ballerina would stuff the toe of each shoe with a combination of sawdust and cotton). I hand-stitched pewter alpha-beads to the interior of the coffin which read "soul dancing"- another hint at the theme I relied upon. On the cover of the coffin is a small pewter charm of a ballerina.
Frankly, I see a remarkable cycle-of-life carried through this entire EC (from infant to coffin). Even though I didn't do a physical body part I think this EC has much to say as a whole.
