Calamity Kingdom Apron XL
I love making these criss cross in the back aprons! the theme of this one is of a fairytale Prince of Chaos wants to be King of Calamityville.
he huffs and puffs and stomps through the high walled ornate gardens around the castle, never paying any attention to the lovely mushrooms thriving on the bull💩 he spews each day as he smashes their hopes and dreams of a peaceful and prosperous world… he cares not for the crying and mournful cabinet members who lust for fame and glory as they are kicked around and scurry to heed his slightest desires…
meanwhile the witches have been secretly meeting to conjure up a spell to ward off his evil designs and transform him into a little runt sized piglet that they will feed copious amounts of burgers, milkshakes and Cheetos!
I can hear them cackling now as they sprinkle each ingriedient into the bubbling cauldron….
cobbled together blues representing the sky and cosmos. graduated colors then grow into the browns and greens of the forest floor… raw edge appliqués of amanita muscaria mushrooms, his highness’ golden slippers and wedge wood linen trousers trample them as the squirrels chatter and toads jump and frolic.
comes with a golden fabric crown.
pockets of wedge wood linen that I dyed last summer in the hopeful Florida sunshine. as I gather fabrics to create the apron backdrop I try to tell a story and when I found the enchanted words fabric I knew I could create this image with stitching.
I love blue- especially aqua- it reminds me of those lovely days at Siesta Beach when the water is all these colors of blue- clean and pure and washing away the ugliness of some current events that ricochet around my brain while I crave the peace and quiet of mushrooms cropping up among the wildflowers and eyes on the rainbows in the clouds…
we can survive almost anything given the proper catalyst and as we journey through this Madman’s Reign of Terror and Taxation we will see him, nude and heartless, for the Emperor truly has no clothes… and we will defend our Country with the Rules of Law and our brave hearts will not bow down.
wash in cold water; dry and iron and trim any ravels with scissors.
