kcai alumni art auction
i printed the dress, i have a biohazard already printed on a dress pattern that works perfectly...then i cut the border strips and set the 88 eyelets (22 on each) for them. i need to set another 44 eyelets in the dress print...and embroider the dress pattern to the dress print.
jason agreed to make the frame :) he said "of course, it's pretty much 'contractual' at this point" :) that he help me with my art where i need him :) so hopefully i can have it embroidered by the weekend, then stain the frame on friday or saturday and then set the eye hooks in the frame and lace everything on sunday :) yay :)
the piece will be very cohesive, the dress is printed on a blue, wallpaper card stock and then a deep red for the border strips and then the pattern is like a filthy white and then the biohazard is printed in white - so it's kind of a folksy americana feel and then the border of the pattern will be embroidered with a dark golden embroidery floss that conjures feelings of the flag, golden tassels and all :) the americana feel was jason's :)
then i just have to get a good photograph. which at that point i'll have 4 days to get a good shot, then do any post-production to make it better :) and then submit my donation! :) i'm very excited. we also have the opportunity then to go to the auction - 2 tickets are provided to artists who donate work :) should be "gala casual" :P
the best part is i will get my piece published in the auction catalog and a chance at being included in the sneak preview guide that will, i think, be published in the KC star...but also KC critics and art world people will be invited to a sneak peak the night before the auction. so who knows...more visibility than i would have had the day before...so that can't be bad...
