Here's a detail of one of the sections of the Stream of Consciousness quilts. The quilt is an assemblage of 4 x 4 squares of muslim that I drew on with fabric pen in one sitting (doodling gone fabric). I combined the squares with found bits of embroidered napkins and sandwiched them with strongly colored fabrics below to signify the unconscious. The stitching on top of the quilt connects and mimics the drawings to portray the odd collection of images and thoughts our brains hold.

I just love this word of the day

cerebrate
verb tr., intro.: To use the mind: to think, reason. 
Doesn't it sound like a new way to say celebrate? 
Thinking can be fun.

Frida Kahlo's courtyard

I want to live in Frida's house. It had a large courtyard with gardens and balconies and stones and sculptures and beds with curtains and flowers and silence and iron work and perfectly placed windows and color and color and color.
