The print was just practice, I wasn’t pleased with the outcome, so I put the block away and left it.</p> <p>Recently I’ve been reprinting old blocks and working into them with paint and embroidery. I spent today adding some embroidery to a version of the print I had on fabric and this time I’m much happier with the results. It’s still not true to the drawing, and it makes her look older than she was, but it feels good to have revisited this portrait.</p>http://ahmiz.tumblr.com/post/50783660160http://ahmiz.tumblr.com/post/50783660160Sat, 18 May 2013 23:31:00 -0400embroideryprintmakingcraftNMaurstadneedle craft<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/9b9f94eaa57a8750d8f18bfa708cdea8/tumblr_mmyp7oW4gc1qitcpbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://angrywhistler.tumblr.com/post/50677538498/michael-mao" class="tumblr_blog">angrywhistler</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Michael Mao</p></blockquote>http://ahmiz.tumblr.com/post/50690491259http://ahmiz.tumblr.com/post/50690491259Fri, 17 May 2013 20:48:04 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/171cdddb901ff38b891305aace460dec/tumblr_mmr5v56OoA1r3wk1zo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d7264058623984ad9dcf22df76fcde9f/tumblr_mmr5v56OoA1r3wk1zo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/71ae67c76247aee50aa7f2d081ba61ef/tumblr_mmr5v56OoA1r3wk1zo5_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/feec159aa152f9a7485e8940699a22c3/tumblr_mmr5v56OoA1r3wk1zo7_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6403854a50a4c5b9088487bcce29ce0c/tumblr_mmr5v56OoA1r3wk1zo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/90c81346419488957f1547f72baea8f0/tumblr_mmr5v56OoA1r3wk1zo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://mydarkenedeyes.tumblr.com/post/50362123896/fahad-alkadi">mydarkenedeyes</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://fahad0850.deviantart.com/">Fahad Alkadi</a></p> </blockquote>http://ahmiz.tumblr.com/post/50433256902http://ahmiz.tumblr.com/post/50433256902Tue, 14 May 2013 14:33:09 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/184051e75570c97183ed29453d6bc0f8/tumblr_mmsw877NIN1qjzicjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>He is a cloud filled sunset over my Philadelphia…</p>http://ahmiz.tumblr.com/post/50432477423http://ahmiz.tumblr.com/post/50432477423Tue, 14 May 2013 14:11:48 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/42847bcc67cb9676be22716ce81970d8/tumblr_mmjqynbbYV1qjzicjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>3rd grade story quilt about a very loved cat that passed… Of old age</p>http://ahmiz.tumblr.com/post/50030179830http://ahmiz.tumblr.com/post/50030179830Thu, 09 May 2013 15:46:14 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/b59db5c3046f69db95cd4e9eed33ff0e/tumblr_mmjfofafvj1qjzicjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>3rd grader’s story quilt about himself. This young man has come a long way… Last year he spent my art classes pacing the room shouting that he hates art. He liked to start a project and at some point he’d lose confidence and rip it up, ball it up, or attempt to throw it away (a major offense in my class). We talked after class many times, restarted projects frequently, and finally convinced him that quitting is the only way you can fail at art. He loves to laugh about last year and seeing the pride he takes in his completed quit almost made me emotional today.</p>http://ahmiz.tumblr.com/post/50016848210http://ahmiz.tumblr.com/post/50016848210Thu, 09 May 2013 11:41:00 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7cc4caa9020584b63c0bff0192585c92/tumblr_mmjfclLHsj1qjzicjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Adinkra symbols on the back.</p>http://ahmiz.tumblr.com/post/50016512171http://ahmiz.tumblr.com/post/50016512171Thu, 09 May 2013 11:35:57 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/dbd5c79ba8ae1f2332d7a24b08bcbbb5/tumblr_mmjf7siB9T1qjzicjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The back of each story quilt has a swatch of fabric printed during the Adinkra lesson.
