When pigs fly, save the children: Vertigo sneeze echoes a distant gallery

Hey! That ain't bad for my first try!!

The transition from the 1st to 2nd slice is completely seamless - very well done, Chantelle!

Love the flying pigs, Christine!

Jen: Are those amoebas on your slice?!

This was great fun!! Glad I found this site - I can see many an hour being spent here from now on!!

Before anyone asks about my slice it was a total freak accident that I found the 2nd bit to that peice of art. I could tell from the 15px peice that the thing on the right was a barn so I Google image searching around for barn art (Not looking for THIS barn, but just ANY barn that could complete the image). I searched for Barn Posters (http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q=barn+posters&btnG=Google+Search) and saw the last one in the 2nd row and KNEW that was what the painting was of.


As soon as I completed my peice I knew that it was going to be one of, if the THE most seamless (besides a bit on the roof) corpse slice so far... and I'm really proud of that, but it's mostly thanks to Christine for giving me just enough information to figure out what goes next.

I am in awe as to how well the first two peices go together, and how well the last two peices go together.

What a great corpse. thanks everyone :D

Chantelle, I used an image that I've seen around quite a few times, kind of hoping that maybe it would either be somewhat familiar, or easy to find. I haven't tried that before and I think it turned out pretty cool (as did the rest of the quilt!) and for some reason I find the fire and fleeing pigs funny ;-)

I try to use 'open-source' images as much as possible, personally. Lately I've been lurking around the NIH's site; most gov't bureaus have public-domain or semi-pd images.

Kodgetts: The one on the left I believe is Proteus mirabilis, but I can't remember right now. NIH stuff. I really thought that poor lady was a flamingo, gave up on that, and turned it into an ameoba. I go for a 'medical/scientific' look in many of my slices.

In case you hadn't worked it out, the masterpiece on the gallery wall is an image of myself (distorted somewhat - I don't really have a huge nose and a warped face!)

PRETTY PLEASE will someone out there start on the new corpse??

I started the last two already, and I don't want to have to do the first slice on this one as well!

Someone give me something to work on!!!!!

Do I sound desperate?!! Sorry, but I really enjoyed the last one and want to have another go, and on top of this I recently joined up at tiles.ice.org and got to do one measly tile before they started having problems with creating new quilts, so there's nowt to do there either!

HEEEEEEEELLLLLLLPPP!! *sob*

OK, I uploaded one. I didn't want to start another one either since the last 2 I started took about a month to complete, but here it is anyway. :-)

I just wanted to say hi to everyone and let everyone know that I have changed my username from lilacgirl to aquapixel (I'm making lilacgirl.com into a fansite and aquapixel.com will house my digital portfolio), and that I miss making corpses, and I hope to find the time in the future to make more. I've seen some great work since I left, keep it up!

Chantelle,
