Born #OTD, prolific Algerian artist Baya Mahieddine (12 Dec 1931 -9 Nov 1998), whose 1st exhibition in Paris in 1957 (at age 16) caught the eye of the likes of Pablo Picasso and Andre Breton. Both birds and fish show up often in her art!

Red Madras Headdress (Le Madras Rouge)

Artist: Henri Matisse (French, 1869 - 1954)

Date: 1907

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: The Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Description

This striking portrait represents Amelie Matisse, the artist's wife, who stares down the viewer with a penetrating gaze. Amelie modeled frequently for her husband, posing in some of the great revolutionary canvases of the early 20th century. When Matisse first exhibited this picture in 1907, it was not received very well by critics. Matisse deliberately challenges the conventions of portraiture by distorting his subject's body and focusing instead on color and pattern.

An Exploration of Large Scale Foundation Paper Piece Quilt Designing

Aka

Cozy Swords So Big

I made this quilt for a sword enthusiast, I’m sure they would clock inaccurate sword proportions right away. It was important to me that the (non magical) swords be as proportionally accurate as possible. I based each blade to hilt ratio directly on historical or famous prop references (can you spot them?) and designed them to be life sized.

The most challenging part of constructing this quilt was working on the RIDICULOUSLY long blades. Typically individual pieces of an FPP pattern are small and easily maneuvered. My largest blade pattern pieces were about 45 inches long, a design decision I would never inflict on anybody but myself.

The smallest blade- the only one I took photos of because the rest were way too overwhelming to document. The largest pieces were triple the length of this.

Designing the blades to be contained in a single piece of each pattern maximized precision in the parts of the designs that I really really wanted to be smooth and sleek.

The long blades were very hard to construct, it’s easy to end up with bubbled fabric on FPP pattern pieces so large. Glue stick and spray starch were critical here.

My only totally impossible sword was designed in a more traditional fpp kind of way, broken into many small pattern pieces. There was a lot more room for error in seam matching, so this block took me much longer to complete than any of the others. I redid quite a few seams to get as close as I could to perfect.

Overall I loved how these large scale FPP designs turned out. I think the result was worth the hassle of working with my comically large pattern pieces.
