Finished this on Sunday (this is Number 10)
My next one planned is either Kelly F or Vonetta, because these will both go quickly, and quickness is the illusion of productivity

Kelly
back on the 1st my Friend Kelly posed for my knitted nudes project, and some other portraits, here are two of the best:
Anyway it got me thinking that I'd like to do at least one shoot every month (this wouldn't count the candid projects) anyone interested in February?

Picture time
And I finally finished the knitting on the knitted nude I've been working on since April. All it took was not having the crap-tacular show in the gallery

Knitted Nudes
Knitted Nudes
While working at the Blaffer Gallery, one show that I particularly enjoyed was Girls Night Out. It was photography from female artists, including one of my favorites that I knew of before, Rineke Dijkstra. From that show I also learned about Katy Grannan and Salla Tykka. But my favorite piece of the whole show was The Wall by an English Photographer, Sarah Jones. I was most often positioned by it, and the whole of it fascinated me. Eventually I thought that I should make a blanket out of it, but then I thought about some photographs I had taken for a class project, and that I could use them as bases.
So, after learning to intarsia, and working with the photo in photoshop, I started the first one, and finished six weeks later. Even working at a job where I can knit virtually the entire time I'm at work, they take forever.
Most of the finished pieces I have made since then have been shot specifically for this project. and I am going to vary it soon. After the ninth one, (which I will begin tomorrow morning) some will be full pictures, and some will be sections thereof. I have already made some 9"x9" ones, and this next set will be 2'x2'
the piece of colour in each one is mainly for aesthetic reasons, and each picture is hand-knitted over 4-8 weeks.
