XENOBIA BAILEY'S ARTIST WORK JOURNAL: 12/22/13

Greetings All and welcome to my blog.... I'd like to share with you these images of my urban sophisticated crochet cloche are totally created by me, International Fiber Artist (Xenobia Bailey)... The materials are natural yarns made with 85% worsted lambs wool and 15% rabbit mohair with rows of 9mm or 6mm glass beads from the Czech Republic.

Since 1986 these chic urban wear crochet crown/hats have evolved with time, for the past 27 years. Since the beginning of Hip-hop and Spike Lee's 40 Acres and a Mule Film Production, and the pages of ELLE Magazine when it first came to America, these Funky Fly, Tapestry Crochet Crown/hats have Rocked-Steady without missing a Beat... for almost 3 decades these crown/hats have adorned some of the noblest heads in and out of the country.

That's what make them the perfect accessory for the creative/artist/unique/expressive individual during the cold winter days and evenings. These stylish creations are great fun for active outdoor winter sports, figure ice skaters. football spectating, shopping and running errands... and for those who must be dolled-up on ski parties, this is the special touch to top off any outfit... They are long lasting, so they make wonderful family heirlooms to be a part of family stories and photo albums.

Each crochet cloche comes with a artist signed and dated note card of authentication of the crochet work for the serious art collectors, that includes the hat images in the promotional digital collaged art work as seen in this blog. (Authentication card does not include image of live model).

This is the perfect cold weather Tapestry Crochet, Wearable Art, Crown/Hat for attending the College Arts Association 102 Annual Conference in Chicago, February 12 - 15, 2014.

A necessary winter wear accessory for Art Historians, Art Scholars, Art Teacher, Art Collectors, Artist Poet, Writer, Musician, Dancer, Singer, Doctor, Lawyer, Mom, Dad and the rest of the Super-Natural Everyday People Crew.
