Phat Quarter swap piece, theme “Somebody Told Me.” I was unable to get The Killers’ song out of my head, so I just went with it. (I realize that the D&G feather jacket was for Day and Age and the song’s from Hot Fuss.)

Made for the Phat Quarter food swap.

Teeny Foot

Teeny baby foot!
11″x14″ on 14-pt Aida. Begun Thanksgiving 2010, finished March 2011. I spent four months proving to myself that I need to manually restrict the color palette when working in grayscale.
