No, really, it is a “little” and it is done 
Three nights of stitch (spent one ripping out!), a reorientation of design, and look who showed up on it.
These little guys are based on sketches i did during college, and are based on Chinese figures from the Han Dynasty—they are not the ever vaunted, over-used Kokopelli. Though i like the way they turned out, the next time i’ll use a slightly lighter variegated grey so they’re a bit more visible.
Think i’ll give the monoprints a good “college try” by going through the rest of the thumbnails from lo those many years ago—-19?????????
PS I was asked for info on monoprinting–i’m not an expert, but this is the easiest way to add design to fabric–textile paint, or acrylic paint with textile medium (i use GAC 900: Golden acrylic medium for fabrics) smeared on a cheap plastic meat cutting “board”, drawn into with whatever, fabric slapped on and brayered–voila. Monoprinting is definitely not rocket science!

mono printing is like finger painting to me. it has a child like quality at its core. I like this arlee, it has a lot of what i think of your style being in it. at the core.
