Exquisite Corpse Photos



My exquisite Corpse is home minus some arms! last year I took part in an Exquisite Corpse Round Robin organized by Arlee Barr. It was a lot of fun adding a body part to someone else's EC. We could not see what was above our block except for 1/2". Each participant started with a head of their choice. My blocks are in reverse in this blog.



Legs and feet from Nancy.



Shorts from Kate.




Corset from Emmy.



Torso from Debby.




My corpse head.





My friend, Anne Marie told me about Arlee's EC project. Here we are with our finished corpses.
I think I will add some arms and hands to my corpse, sorry Debby! I will add my efforts on the other corpses to my next blog, you'll see how they kind of go with my corpse head!




Organic Embroidery Class Finished!


Lesson 4 ' Bubble Wrap' a microscopic photo with fabric appliques on painted fabric

This is the first on line class I have completed! That is every lesson. I highly recommend classes with Susan Sorrell of Creative Chick. I love the simplicity of the lessons and the portability! I got many new ideas of how to create my own embroideries. Thank you Susan!

Now, to go back and finish a couple of on line classes. I have learned something new with every class finished or not! I hope you enjoy looking at my embroideries!
