Trarahhhh, and here it is.... completed....
I will enter this "Prachtstueck" for submission to be considered for the 2011 Art Bra Calendar

ok, here it is...the Under-Bra foundation

In order not to make this project too busy, I decided to  lightly apply paint to the  Underbra sides using  gold  metallic Luminaire Acrylic paint to give it a leathery slightly distressed look. Also I made cords using several different strips of fabric also adding a string of varigated eyleash yarn, then they  were  twisted and zig-zagged using my Bernina 730, really cool...I like it...yeahhhh

After hooking the bottom and middle section of the Butterfly Bra , I decided to use the Fiber Art Material which I made during a workshop with Australian Fiber Artist Pearl Moon.

A while back  my friend Eve also introduced me to the Critter workshop at the Brandywine River Museum in Chadds  Ford, PA where I became a Volunteer Critter artist.
Throughout the year some 80 volunteers are busy  gathering, drying and creating figurines made with only naturally  grown materials.
On the first weekend in December the Museum has its annual Critter Sale and people stand in line to get in to buy them as gifts or to add to their private collection. Those Critters have  become beloved collector items often displayed on a Christmas Tree. In 1984 the volunteers were invited to the Reagan White House to decorate the main Christmas Tree.This tradition continues at the Museum where all Christmas Trees are decorated with Critters often using a theme like Angels, or Dr. Seuss figures...They continue to bring joy to the Museum visitiors and collectors alike.

Today I played with PolyClay and eventhough I had planned to sculpt a Baby Face...it turned out to be this Angel face....she'll need ears and after baking she'll get her make up and then I'll decide about her body.....
and her name......I found this Angel hair in a X-mas decoration and thought it would improve her photo....
