howdy do campers......well my 100 days plus 4 ( i did not add correctly...what's new?, and so my 100 days ended up being 104 days)....so 100 days plus 4 are going well....im taking some liberties with my art.....yesterday was fabric day...actually patch my jeans day.....i feel like i was using the sewing machine to draw with so that was counted as a day......
speaking of patchwork jeans.....well no one was, but i segued ....segued looks so strange....segway looks better but that's a thing you ride......which i have and is very bizarre and fun.......focus....so who patches jeans anymore?.....well i do....but it used to be the thing to do, but now the thing to wear are leggings......they are really comfy, but not great to patch.....too funny.......i just imagined someone wearing patched leggings.......probably me.......not really working............ so way back you would get these rectangular patches that were sewn or ironed on....no kids, not like a piece of iron on your jeans,..... it's that contraption that used to be used all the time by mom's everywhere.....iron out wrinkles in skirts, shirts, dresses, in my mom's case, sheets, towels, curtains, etc....or in my case, grilled cheese sandwiches.....yes virginia you can iron grilled cheese sandwiches on the ironing board,.... prepare the grilled cheese like you normally would then wrap in aluminum foil and iron on both sides.....amazing and really fun.........and for you carnivorous people you can make it a ham and cheese, or for you vegans a tofu and vegan cheese.....that's really good.......... but where was i....wait, i'm right here....ha ha ha .....i make myself laugh all the time......i'm not really sure why people don't come by anymore....hmmmm........ back to jeans......so these patches would be sewn or ironed onto the knees of your jeans even before you wore them.....to keep your jeans from wearing out so fast......cause, i always spell cause, casue....had to correct it............anyway....... you only had so many jeans and they had to last the whole year....if you grew, which we all did....material got added to the bottom...or everyone asked you why you are wearing high waters.........like you had rolled up your jeans cause you're wading through water, but you didn't roll them you just wore jeans that were too short...anyway.......well my hubby wanted to get some jeans, levis to be exact, but there are so many numbers...501, 502, 505, etc....and then what fit and cut do you want?....flare, boot cut, low rise, high rise....not a skyscraper, ....narrow leg, loose fit, curvy.....well not my hubby,....or me......relaxed, really low rise....which is kind of redundant....low- rise........what color, etc.............how bout just a pair of jeans.......and now it's not a pair of jeans it's just jean.........which is what i'm called by my relatives, and my mom when she's mad at me....bobbi jean....a good southern double name...... but back to my 100 days plus 4, so fabric art is a thing and really art is subjective so anything you do could be construed.....very wild word.....as art.............like i just made art with the dots....."i felt it was a very existential reality that affirms the dot's existence".......what?.......right.......really i was just thinking......but yeah art can be anything.....and i've been getting some inspiring info from art marketing videos.....so i keep moving forward....ever so slowly......and even though i was supposed to be selling my artwork by april 1st...joke on me.....i'm pushing to have a way to sell my artwork by the end of this month!.....yes that's right i said it.....october 31, i will have my artwork up for sale........yikes........better get a move on..... so moving on...... art marketing is going well......my hubby did get some jeans.....the pictures below will be photos of my art jeans....some i can still wear and some are only patches with a little bit of jean left....or jean right......but not jean write....cause she was sewing....on day 25.....be groovy! ps- happy 12th birthday o
