Share a Past Project Thursday
It's only Wednesday night, but I have to work long hours tomorrow, so I'm going to post this now.
I haven't done a SAPP post in awhile. I will do them on occasion again. It's fun to share stuff that way, but there are only so many pics of things, you know?
This is a paper casting of sewing notions. (you'll have to click on the image to be able to see it. Flickr doesn't size the photos as well as Blogger does)
Anyway, I took a pile of sewing notions and made a plastic mold in a special machine (that's the mold on the right). We then cast paper in our molds, and when the paper was dry, I used a foam Nerf ball dipped into stamp pads to color portions of mine.
It's a fun and unique piece of art.
I made this in a sculpture class at a Community College a few years ago. Community College classes are a great source for creative projects at a low cost. Next semester I am going to sign up for a sewing class, in preparation for the semester following when I will be able to take a flat-pattern construction class.
(For those of you in San Diego, Mesa College offers a fashion degree, and therefore has some amazing sewing classes available. Grossmont College has an excellent sculpture program).
PS: As cheesy as this is, I'm so happy Emmitt Smith won Dancing with the Stars. Ha! Imagine a bar filled with big ol' football types, watching ballroom dancing. I mean, that just makes me smile. And wanting to get back out on the dance floor...

Hammer time? (Those parachute pants had better not be on their way back....)
I loved his GREEN SHOES, only a REAL man can pull that off.
I totally agree! Also, I tend to think that Mario is a bit cheesy, and I wasn't too thrilled to watch him making out with his dance partner. Ugh.
