Erika Iris Simmons

My name is Erika Iris Simmons and I like to take things- random things- like what you would find at a garage sale or in a thrift store- and make them into composite art. Most of my pieces become portraits of people associated with the item I’ve chosen. I don’t really add any paint or pigments… I usually just take things apart and re-arrange the pieces, cutting away portions when necessary. A lot of my art is made with cassette tapes and old film reels in a series I call “Ghost in the Machine.”

Oh, wow, lots of new followers! Hi, you guys!

Impressive

Cut 10 strands of 5cm yarn (either in black, white or grey~your preference!~ and knot at the end of the tail. Trim ends to shape.

Assembly:

-Sew body to head

-Sew patch 1 to top of head (either on right or left)

-Sew ears to side of head

-Sew horns to head

Where you place the patches is up to yourself but here is an suggestion:

-Sew patch 2 near tail end

-Sew patch 3 and 4 on either side of the body

-Sew tail to end of the body

-Sew the legs to the body (when doing so position it so that the leg part (the stuffed part) is underneath the body and the haunch is sewed on the side of the body

-Find a little bell and a piece of yarn in any colour you like, thread the yarn through the bell and tie it to the cow’s neck

-There! Its done! Your very own cow! :)

-Make some more friends for your cow!
