As always I went for a mixed media look with embroidery and quilting and fabric and a bit of digital magic. Lots of hand-dying with the teapot and the China Girl, well actually it was the opposite of dying, it was discharging with bleach, but potato potato, one of those has a soft a, I just realized they look the same, lol. (They are almost obnoxiously bright I know, but this IS Oz, so I thought it appropriate.)

The first image is stunning - the sea of poppies just gorgeous.

and I LOVE the teapot in the second. gorgeous work

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

thanks, I think you almost can't mess up a poppy. So that's good :)

[canonisrelative.livejournal.com]

Oh my GOD your art is so gorgeous! the original one with the poppies....wow. This reminds me of something, I don't know what.... I love the torn paper, quilted feel of it all. Seriously, this is fucking fantastic. Well done.

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

It's a common perspective used, and well if it's not broke don't fix it *G*. Thank you so much for the love, I just wanted to do something different with fabric.

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

Aweeeeeeeeeeesome!

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

:) thank you, trying something new, but you'll always be my first victim.

[big-heart-june.livejournal.com]

Once again your mixed media blows me away! I can't stop staring! and I fucking LOVE the bright colours. esp LOVE your teapot with its embroidery and your poppies! your poppies! and the girls ♥ and just everything, really! I wish I was an author so you could art for ME! :DDD

GORGEOUS, birthday-baby! just really really fucking beautiful ♥

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

oh I would art for you baby!!! thank you for all the ♥♥♥ you make me so fucking happy.

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

You really are an extremely clever and talented woman aren't you! Love these hun,t he poppies are so VIBRANT! Gorgeous work as always :) ♥

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

stuck to my old theory of everything is better when it's brighter lol, I do think it's true. My fingers do like the saturation button :P

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

I love that philosophy, brighter is ALWAYS better :D

[firesign10.livejournal.com]

So lovely and so unique!

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

thank you so kindly :)

[anactoria.livejournal.com]

This is so cool! I love the bright colours -- they really bring to mind the feeling of the original Oz stories and the film.

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

I went with the everything is better when it's brighter theory, I'm glad it worked for you.

[viviansface.livejournal.com]

oooooh i absolutely loved the original prompt -- of course it was YOURS!! it's fucking stunning, love it so so much!

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

YAY!!!! I'm glad you loved it!!! that makes me sooooo happy.

[zubeneschamali.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! I love the background fabric for the poppies in contrast to the big, bold flowers up front.

I never even thought of doing fiber art for a fandom challenge...hmmm...

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

This is my ??fourth??, I started with straight up embroidery and gradually kept adding more fabric, until RBB was fabric with a smidge of embroidery. It's been fun to play around with for challenges. When you live a life of fabrics scraps it just seems obvious.

You're going to do one now aren't you??*nudge nudge*

[zubeneschamali.livejournal.com]

I am certainly tempted! I do more large-scale quilts than small pieces, but this would be good motivation...

[ephermeralk.livejournal.com]

they are all so cuuuute!!!

the vibrant oz colors are wonderful, and the tea-pot is precious ♥

awesome job, bb

Hope you are having a fantastic bday so far ♥ ♥

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

I am having a wonderful birthday, being spoiled rotten..and then every once in awhile I jump on here and read nice comments, it's a good day :)♥♥

[blythechild.livejournal.com]

Soooo lovely, darling. The original prompt image is beautiful and vibrant and slightly odd like the best kind of dream... My envy of your talents is completely justified ;)

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

your icon is the BEST!!!! That's me, it really is. In fact I got a coloring book today for my birthday.

thank you for the compliments.

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

Adorable! And I love the technique. Fresh and colorful and great to see other media!

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

thank you, thank you, thank you...I'm having alot of fun trying things out, some are even successful*G*

[equally-dour.livejournal.com]

wonderful work!

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

I appreciate that, thanks:)

[the_rant_girl]

Beautiful, beautiful art my lovely!! I LOVE the poppies!! and I love the way you mixed the mediums!! And such a gorgeous banner! The teapot is totally adorable! ♥♥

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

the banner just magically came together, I love it when things like that happen. ♥ Poppies are a favorite image of mine so it was a no brainer when I started thinking of an original prompt.

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Woah, I just love your art style and experimenting with materials so much. This is an explosion of colour yet with a stillness within through the ladies with their eyes closed.
The different structures add such a great feel to the collage and I adore the lettering you did.
The hearts of the poppies are embroidered lines too, yes? However you did it I would love to see you work on these <3

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

yup, the poppy middles are stitched too, these two pieces were mostly done with the magic of paper backed fusible, it's something I use alot in my RL "work" and so it just popped into my head. After everything is backed with the fusible, you can draw reversed on the paper side or free cut out shapes like I did with the poppies and the corn...then it's just layering and collaging and ironing on. The emroidery pieces, like the "Dream On" and Charlie/Dorothy are stitched seperately and then I fuse them as well. Due to time constraints this lettering was done by digital magic (I know, what a cheat I am,lol)♥

[twisted-slinky.livejournal.com]

I love the mixed media! The color is so vibrant. Wonderful job. :D

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

thank you, it was a chance for a more is more approach that I'm prone to naturally, lol.

[casey28.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! I love the bright coloring, and the mixed media look is wonderful. <3

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

thanks, I'm not one to shy away from color, my life is always like a rainbow throwing up. I guess this mixed media is just going to be my "thing"♥

[thestarkat.livejournal.com]

Wow. Your art is breathtaking. I am so in awe of your talent and imagination and the creativity of your mixed-media format. I want to both hug you and shake you really hard to see if any of that talent would shake off onto me. Wow!

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

It just occurred to me to work with what I have at hand, fabric scraps and thread...and it's not so serious as my RL stuff, it doesn't have to be worn or washed or stay together, it just has to look good in a picture and "POW", magic, it's art. I've really been enjoying it.

I guarantee if you squeeze me I make sounds like a squeeky toy, I'm not sure about the "talent" rub off tho, I mostly just throw a lot of stuff and wait for something to stick.

[somersault-j.livejournal.com]

These two pieces are gorgeous :) I LOVE them!!!!

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

thank you very much my dear... they were fun to work on. Thankfully the banner art just made itself after I read the wonderful story those girls created.♥

[ms-doomandgloom.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! Beautiful work. The colors are so vibrant, so fitting of a story set in Oz and I love the mixed media approach. Very, very cool!

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

I've really been enjoying playing around with the art. I'm glad people don't hate it. I also play by the rule of brighter is better, lol.

[sillie]

Oh, this is very pretty. Love it!

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

thank you so much...I bow down to you tho for the crocheting of tentacle porn, it's pretty much genius....also I'm a stupid fan of your "field guide" art (winged Dean), it's an all time favorite of mine. OH god, I'm sorry, I'm covering you with fangirl jizz :)

[sillie]

Aww, thank you! So glad you like it. *smishes you* :D :D

[leighannwallace.livejournal.com]

love this, especially the teapot!

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

is it the sparkles? it is isn't it? :) those sparkles made that teapot look magical!

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

HOLY FANTASTIC TECHNIQUE HOW DOES THIS EVEN WORK. *_* Wow. Just wow. This is insanely cool!

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

awwww geee whiz, I'm glad you liked it :) It's comments like this that make me keep trying this crazy stuff!
