African American Fabrics: Mixed Media and Women's History


I am hosting two artist collaborations this month. One is a Black Hair KRaZy Challenge, posted in my previous blog post; and, other is a mixed media postcard-celebrating woman by working with vintage photos of women. I am finding that these challenges are an excellent venue for trying out new techniques and meeting people.

Attached is a work in progress, "sweaty woman", featuring a nude women sitting on a plastic cover chair. I love this photo--talk about a great subject. I was floored and flood of thoughts  just from looking at this photo.  The collage of letter at the top states, “Momma’s couch always made me sweaty"; while the note below features a breakup letter to "June Bug".

Also attached, is another work in progress. More about this one later...
