For this past Saturday’s Union Project fundraiser event Unwrapped, the dolls + monsters were invited to participate. I didn’t go, I don’t know who bought what, but a bunch of them have moved onto better places. And the monster mirrors too! So I bid them adieu — and if you happen to be one of the new owners from Saturday night, send me a message + a photo, I’d like to see them in their new habitat!
Here is the table for sale that I set up before the event got going..

I sold most of these monsters at the Belfast and Dublin shows back in June, and I never properly documented them before they left me. A lot of them were pocket sized, made out of QFT Lost & Found hats and scarves. Others were from huge bags of underused clothing that students had left piled up in front of their Holylands doors when the school year ended. I had to tell passersby that I was an art student when they shot me ‘Why are You Going Through Abandoned Bags of Clothes’ looks. One day, I hope, I will not even register those looks.

The sale went well at the I Made It! market (junior edition) at Pittsburgh’s Children Museum. The Steelers lost, but it seems most of Pittsburgh still watched. I had covered most things with Masked Avengers and Silver Capes, and I spent too much time constructing a Make A Monster pattern — that I’ll post up tomorrow probably. Hopefully the patterns will go to good use, and more monsters will be born out of orphaned clothing!
I feel an Elephant spree coming on — Alice gave me so many beautiful plaids, it’s time for them to contract some elephantitis. Also on the stuffed creatures to do list: Squirrels, Sewing Machines, Lyndon Johnson and Art Garfunkel. World, are you ready?
