Geekerie Hoops by Courtney Price
I’m consistently amazed that embroidery can be used as a force for snarky, sardonic humor and not just grandma bible quotes. Where there’s shameless irreverance, a needle, and a will, there’s a way, it seems. Crafty Courtney Price has got me jumping through geek-flavored hoops, which you can purchase over at her etsy or give her a shout for commissions.

“Rainbow Rose,” Oil on canvas, 24x24 inches, 2009. This is my favorite painting to date.
I actually used a reference photo for this. Apparently a white rose can be injected with different colored dyes to get a rainbow effect. It is the coolest thing ever!
I thought about the meaning of the painting as I studied the entire spectrum of colors. During my early 20s, I was still discovering myself as a person (I still am). Some people just stay consistent. On the other hand, I feel that I have different facets to my personality, yet somehow I stay consistent. I come off as dark and mysterious to some, crazy and colorful to others, and still eccentric and unconventional to everyone else. There’s a wide range of qualities that I do have as a person. I’m scatter-brained and all over the place, yet somehow I manage to stay organized and on top of things. I’m a left-brained (language and analytical-minded) artist, but I’ve chosen a career for right-brained individuals (intuitive, emotional, broad ranged thinking). I’m clad in forever black, yet my art bursts with color, well-defined lines, glitter, poisoned cupcakes, and dizzy stars. My work is mostly two-dimensional, but there have been three-dimensional works sprouting whenever I find the resources. My personality is mostly on the introverted side, but my mission is to do good work in this world by being ethical and decent to others, and to give what I can.
So, the rose has multiple layers and facets, just like my individuality.
The way I worked on this was actually really simple. Like many of my other pieces, I had to break the rose down into smaller pieces and work on each section one at a time. In a way, that’s how I view my life and personality: seeing how the whole thing works and evolves, and then work on each individual aspect of it at a time. The only difference is that I had to work my way out from the center on this painting. When dissecting my multi-layered self, I have to start from the outside, and work my way in.
If that doesn’t make sense, it’s okay. I’m still discovering myself as I unlock more layers to my being and learn things I didn’t know before. I realize that I will continue to evolve as a person.
sometimes things are tough but look at this bun
