Crochet/Painting

I probably crochet more than the average cool person my age. I don't really care, it's my therapy. I've been crocheting since I was pretty young and ever since than, I'm always starting new projects and never really finish them. I save them all. So pretty much I have duffel bags full of random pieces that I made that were supposed to be part of a blanket at some point or a scarf or some weird accessory, but never reached it's completion. A few weeks ago I decided to try to use them and incorporate them into a painting by adhering the scarps to the canvas in a balanced composition, gessoing the whole thing, and painting over it with cool earthy tones and gold. Turned out pretty sweet. I might be on to something. I have enough crochet pieces to create a series. It has a similar look to other things I do but the series is still unfortunately nameless. I know there is some sort of conceptual content in there somewhere....just haven't figured it out yet.

an addition to the organic conception family

Not really finished yet, but close. The Bottom right corner is a little nakey still. I seem to only work on these collages when I have a lot on my mind....maybe that means I haven't had a lot on my mind lately? Not thinking, not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing. Anyway, this is the latest collage in the making.

experimental cooking

I do it a lot....cook weird things just to see if it turns out. It's a plus when in tastes good. The picture doesn't look very appetizing, but it is.

Recipe for Green Chili French Toast (minus the Cinnamon and syrup):

Ingredients: Bread, left over homemade green chili, egg, cheese.

Preparation: Mix one egg with about 1/2 cup green chili. Dip and cook just as you would with regular french toast. Instead of syrup, cover with more green chili and a little cheese. It's genius what can I say.
