I’ve got you now, my pretty!

Daredevil minimate viewed through a dome magnifier.

Daredevil is scrutinized under a dome magnifier, reminding me of the crystal ball in Wizard of Oz.

Sure it does, DD.

You and me both, DD.

DD Volume 2, issue #26

One of my Daredevil art quilts, featuring the cover of DD #26, art by Alex Maleev.

A small art quilt panel I did of the cover to Daredevil #26, Volume 2, by Alex Maleev.  I was lucky to have bought the background fabric in 2000, part of a Y2K line of fabric.  It has the World Trade Center towers in this print, to the left just above the radar circle, which is done with an organza overlay.  There are thirteen shades of red in DD’s costume.  I hand beaded the twisted fringe along the bottom. Click on this image to see the stitch detail more closely.

Murdock’s Law

Thread painting of Joe Quesada art from "Parts of a Hole" arc

Entire panel of thread painting "Murdock's Law"

Top: Closeup of “Murdock’s Law” thread painting by me, hand dyed fabric by my friend Cynthia Hibbard.  Original art by Joe Quesada, from Parts of a Hole, written by David Mack.  The braille reads “integrity” and “justice”.  Cynthia dyed all the fabric used on this piece, and when she sent me the tie-dyed circles and the mottled  piece from the same dye lot, I had no idea what I was going to do with either of them.  Then one day it hit me, and here’s the result.

Bottom: Full quilted panel.  Text on the left side from David Mack’s cover art on Daredevil Issue #24, vol. 2.  I hand beaded the fringe along the bottom, using vintage beads given to me by a friend, whose mother was my senior English teacher.  I wonder sometimes if I ever saw her wear them in class.

More stuff older than you…

Daredevil meets Stiltman on this 1966 trading card.

More antiquities: trading stamps were what got me my first pair of clamp-on-my-shoes roller skates. Google S&H Green Stamps.

Stuff older than you, probably.

1966 Bubble gum trading card with Daredevil jumping onto a car, shouting "Let Hurts put you in the driver's seat!"

I have a few of these DD cards, but not all by a long shot.  If I have to explain DD’s quip here, you’re too young to get the joke anyway. ; )

What if DD went to the St. Patrick’s Day parade?

DD thinks: What if I wore green for St. Patrick's Day?

“I should really wear something green for St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow.  Hmm…on second thought, just can’t see that happening.”
