Spent the day with my First Cousins at the Brooklyn Museum. The exhibit was the Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz incredible Art Collection.
Brooklyn Museum Giants Feb 10th - July 7, 2024
Our conversations reminded us how we stand on the shoulders of Giants.
Keith is a big fan of Motorcycles so when he saw this he had to have a photo. Even said he had a cycle kind of like the red one.
I was honored and grateful to participate in the Queens Public Library Black History Month Events. There were 4 Fashion Doll Workshops, where participates used their own fashion/art/craft creativity. Below are 3 videos form a few of the classes.

This library had a smaller participation, but the few that came were filled with creativity. One lady had no craft knowledge, but was really eager to learn. She really needed no instruction.

I usually drape and test out patterns using cotton muslin. Then there is so much left over that I haven't been throwing out, just piling up in a container for use later.....now it's later. This is a hand painted patchworked shirt. I washed the fabric to get the sizing out, which made it softer and after that the shirt pattern was cut out. I used the (not sponsored) Tulip fabric markers https://tulipcolor.com/collections/fa..., there are many brands out there, these were inexpensive and available at a local store in the neighborhood.
