Pantsuit Printmaking Project Preview


Printmaking has been around since the first caveman plastered his muddy hand on the cave wall to say "I was here". 
Pantsuit Printmaking hasn't been around quite as long, but the sentiment is still the same.

Here's a sneak preview of the "Pantsuit Printmaking Project" we did this afternoon...







I'll be posting the Pantsuit Prints and the full story soon!

Pantsuit Printmaking today!

Hey kids, don't forget to come by City Park in Bisbee at 3 Pm today for some live Pantsuit Printmaking... where you'll be the stamps!

If you don't live in Bisbee, check back tonight for the fun photo results of these "high art" shenanigans!

A Pantsuit Promenade

Fall is here and it's got me to thinking about a Pantsuit Promenade.
Everybody loves a promenade... young people, old people, cats, dogs, babies, horses, giraffes and oh, just about everybody.

               Max Beckman's "Promenade"


                 Marc Chagall's "Promenade"


     
       August Macke's "A Stroll on the Bridge"


Don't you feel a Pantsuit Promenade coming on?
I definitely do!

Pantsuit Printmaking Workshop

What do you get when you mix Pantsuits, paint, canvas and YOU?

Pantsuit Prints, of-course!
Pantsuit print-making is scheduled  for 3 PM Monday at City Park in Bisbee, AZ.
If you want to be a Pantsuit stamp, you need to wear black pants that can be sacrificed to the cause. 
I'll supply the Pantsuit jackets, if you don't have one. 
Please read the fine print.

Cloris Leachman and the Clintons

I just finished Cloris Leachman's autobiography ( thanks Emily!) and would like to share with you the  "Cloris and the Clintons" passage.

It seems back in 1992 that Cloris noticed that Bill Clinton's "body was becoming distorted from eating on the Campaign trail" from all that "grabbing and snacking". Though she didn't know the Clintons, Cloris felt she could help him loose weight.
She called Hillary whom she'd never met but who's number she'd had "got somehow", and talked to her secretary for probably 45 minutes. After a leisurely chat, she left a message for Hillary that she could "get our new president to loose a few pounds".
Hillary called her back a couple of days later, and was completely open to the idea of Cloris coming to the White House to cook a few meals that the President would enjoy eating, and help him take off the weight that he'd put on.
Cloris suggested she wear a paper bag over her head, so that no one would know who she was.

I don't think Cloris ever ended up in the White House kitchen, but how much do you love those gals?

Pantsuit Promenade

"This Town" by Nancy Sinatra, played in my head as Shawnee and I explored some of the old mining towns of Arizona and New Mexico yesterday and today.



Not much lies between Bisbee and our Sister City of Silver City, except some lonely towns that are now teetering on the edge of becoming ghost towns. Just Railroad tracks, dusty bric-a-brac, and decaying remnants of glory days now gone forever.
These towns aren't the best location for Pantsuitin', but Silver City is a primo place for a Pantsuit Promenade!
And if you like groovy, historic, rambling old hotels with a great cafe, be sure to make the Palace Hotel your Pantsuitin' headquarters!

Purple Pantsuit Adventure

Today I am going to put on the Purple Pantsuit and go on an adventure....

Perhaps I'll do some time travel, and maybe some shape-shifting, it remains to be seen.
In any case, I'll  be back tomorrow!

Pantsuit Tusslers

INTERNATIONAL FLAG PANTSUIT

How much do you want an International Flag Pantsuit?
I know I do, so it looks like it's up to me to make them.

Imagine how popular you'd be traveling the world in this number. It's clearly a must-have. 
Unfortunately, however, they don't make International flag material, so there's lots of work to do before we sport "The International".

I'd like to wear one to the International House of Pancakes, for starters!

 I am on a word fast today, so just pretend you can't see this...

         I am also on a food fast,



                   An art fast,

                  A Hill-fast,


              As well as a fun fast.


             This is my day today.
