The Hackneys
Sometimes a piece goes together like butter and toast. Like Annie Hall Meets Aunt Kitty.
But then there are pieces that are vexing. And I hate to quit on something. I figure if I struggle and it doesn't come out as I would like I at least learn something.
Thus The Hackneys are kicking my behind. I had them printed on gauze, first mistake, they were kind of dull and dark. Then I painted them with a yellow/orange paint, mmm, okay. Then I stitched a grid on them and played with some metallic thread, still dull. So, I cropped them in tight and started to do some hand stitching. They're are coming more alive. For now.
