So I went to a very nice canyon and did a dig and found a huge T-Rex I call Sue's Cousin. Sue is the biggest T-Rex skeleton found yet and she was found by a kid too! I'm a big kid!
I used a lot of strips of fabric to show soil layers and to give you that feel of age. Then "dug" some of the fabric away to reveal my find. I used an outline stitching to achieve this and then painted in the dino.
I'm still laughing! This is great, I am so glad that Sue had a cousin for you to find and depict! Looks like you had fun creating this piece?
ReplyDeleteOh this is great! Love your humorous take on the theme. Beautiful layered strata!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a hoot! I love this, Carol! Not only is there humor here, but true beauty as well. Your dinosaur is so well rendered, until I read your explanation, I thought that perhaps you'd made use of a handy batik print!. You are such a super addition to our group.
ReplyDeleteCarol, So important to have fun with it! Just love the skeleton!!!! The piece works really well, and just love the skeleton, I know I said that already. But the body position and face and joyfulness in him or her are just perfect. Wow!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Your color choices for the layers are wonderful. You sure came up with a fun twist putting a dinosaur skeleton in there!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wild woman (compliment) you are and artist as well! Your soil layers are better than the real thing and I wish I had gone on the dig with you. Many more compliments are due!
ReplyDeleteYou said so much with such simplicity and subtle fabric choices. The print fabrics imply fossils which I thought was very clever. Your dino is "dynomite"!(a term frequently used by the '70's Good Times sitcom character JJ (Jimmy Walker). Truly a fun piece Carol
ReplyDeleteI love this, I have long been a devoted fossil hunter. If you ever come to Texas we will take you to the mammoth dig here in Waco.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely my favorite of all that were posted this time!! It tickled my funny bone with an amazing array of fabric choices. Sue would be proud!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol ! What a great job you did with my challenge word ! I loved the fabrics you used, especially the strata layers that look so real. I also had thought you used a batik fab for "Sue's Cousin" ... how fantastic that your dino was painted !
