I am doing a few more lessons with my mixed-media teacher. She suggested we all work with textiles in some or other way. Some people are knitting lovely bath mats with coloured fabric, others are making appliqued tray cloths and napkins. All beautiful, practical and functional objects. I decided to go in the opposite direction. Completely impractical. (And dysfunctional - like I am. Hahahaha.)
I declared my intention to make a bust. As in sculpture. A big fabric bust and then I am going to embroider and stitch on it. 'Where are you going to put it?' asks L'Usband, anxiously eyeing the few remaining surface areas where he can still squeeze in his wine glass. Oh well, I'll worry about that later.
For now I have made a tiny maquette ...
... with a little bust.

I love when you turned her round to show her little bust!! You are just so clever (and quirky!!)
More inspiration!!! I hesitate sometimes , for about one millisecond, to read your new post because i feel like such a slacker! How do you find time to create so many incredible things and , yes, where do you put them all?
I LOVE her little boobies- they look so like mine, minus the gravity. She's a pretty girl!
You amaze!
That is an original idea, a fabric bust. It could be really interesting to make a representation of a real person, with perhaps a screen printed photo of their face , I can see a lot of people loving that.
I can see lots of room there for your new and curvy lady. Maybe if L'Usband would stop giving her the anxious eye she would stop giving it to him.
L'usband has solved the problem: The wine glass is NEVER put down - it's hard on the elbow, but what the heck!
Oh so lovely!
What an exciting idea. You truly are a very talented person.

She's looking great! And she looks like she's going to deserve a surface all of her own - how about one of those little square floating shelves out of a wall - then there'll be no competition for l'usband's wine glass?! Would hate him to get wine-glass-elbow!
it is great! looking forward to see the final work!
Love this bust!!!! Both pretty and a little quirky.
How much fun you must have in class. Do you study full time?
