Barfing in Style

I completed my first commission, which is this set of six burp cloths- inspired by the work of Ellsworth Kelly. I know A LOT of burp cloth designs are inspired by pioneers of modern minimalist painting, but I still couldn't resist. I thought it would be nice to have a set of colorful (though not in too dark colors) cloths to mix in with the otherwise utilitarian ones that will no doubt abound. They are for a set of triplets, so these will end up in a load of wash with likely 20 other cloths per day. I hope they bring a little sparkle to that chore.

As for me, I used to be an art dealer. While I was admittedly pretty small time, I did have my share of glamorous escapades and was involved a few rather high-minded projects over the years in sophisticated locations around the world. Now I sew rags for babies to puke on. A decidedly dramatic improvement in quality of life.
