Eclectic-Meanderings: Meet OTIS

Meet OTIS

Otis started out here, kind of ghost like. He is a star minder. He tends to go invisible so you will never see him all, just parts of him. Parts of him tended to become visible as I stitched. Looks like he's not willing to reveal more of himself at this time.

OTIS the star minder

I did finish this piece last night and I think it will become part of my moon quilt.

I think OTIS will be with me from now on so you might see parts of him appear in other pieces once in awhile. He is kind of shy but a very gentle being. Not sure exactly what he does yet. As he reveals himself, I will let you in on his star minder duties. Click on the images for a closer view.

cindy said...: I love Otis! He looks very wise & kind, with a quiet sense of humor. I just noticed your description of yourself under your photo. "...do not consider myself an artist". I understand the statement, but I think it's time to rethink it. It was a wonderful artist who created/saw/imagined Otis and his story.; July 1, 2011 at 1:17 AM
gerfiles said...: Pleased to meet him (you know him fairly well by now I guess, but: are you sure he isn´t a she/it?...) - the shy often dress astonishingly extravagant, I´ve seen that before...;); July 1, 2011 at 5:07 AM
