Kitsch - Sally Neckvatal - 'Well I had to do something while my hair and nails were drying"

Hi!  I put off learning about blogging until my first challenge quilt for this group was completed.
Not having done this before, I created a blog under my name and posted a detailed account of my project there.  You can see the details here:

To summarize: I  loved this challenge!  Mid century modern is, to me, the epitome of kitsch.  The bold colors and designs, the experimentation with design elements for the home, environment, business, and fashion.  It was so lively and fresh. The most challenging aspect to me was how to decide which of the 100 ideas I came with would be my first quilt, in what undoubtedly will become a series for me.

Most of my art quilts include a 3D element or two or five.  Even some of my more traditional quilts have had texture or 3D elements.  So my decision to do this quilt was based on an idea I got for how I was going to create curlers and wrap it with a scarf.  My personal blog details that. 

Another challenge was drawing a head/face and hands. I'm not a gifted sketch artist.  So I used my own hands to model the hands. I filled a wine glass with wine and studied it until I pretty much understood what I was seeing.  Then I drank the wine. It's not good to pour wine back into a bottle. And it's bad luck to pour it down the drain unless it's a truly terrible wine.
But actually, you can make a pretty find jelly out of less than delightful wine.
