these are the final 14 pieces in my "a week in 1953" series. these embroidery and fabric panels are an imaginative journey of a 1950's housewife. her name is marge. she is in her 40's. she has no children and she is always coiffed, manicured and impeccably dressed. i wanted to create a duplicate image that transcends the "cuteness" of embroidery. a smokin' hand was the result. its in these panels that i represent the 1950's lifestyle, habits, wallpaper, color, and everyday objects within this one fictitious week.
there are 7 large pieces, (the smokin' hands) measuring 8" x 12" and 7 small companion pieces, measuring 7" x 11". they are stretched over wooden frames and are ready for hanging.
