Work Contents
Paint Usage?
none
Computer Usage?
Finding little icons to represent what I do in the house, or what house means to me, took some finding, and then I had to figure out how to transfer the images onto exact areas on the fabric.
Reliance on Reference Photos?
I mostly used clip art picture for the icons, some being found on CD collections. Not so much internet then
Intriguing to think of objects as the base for a self-portrait.
