This work of art is named "When I grow up I want to be Mark Rothko", or, in short: The Markobile. Pronounced like an Italian/Spanish word. A Vassilobile is being planned, possibly also a Pietobile, a Paulobile and a Kasimobile. In most cases, I don't make real what I announce; in case I don't, I'll sell the names to some mobile producer. The first one to build these things was
Alexander Calder, who also invented the name (pronounced mo-bee-lay).
This one is beautiful and a lot more complex than mine.
I used to do such things as a teenager. Later, I never knew how to be patient enough to balance that out. And I did not feel able to manage fumbling with small things. But quilting has given back some of my old skills. It is funny -- now that I am 62 today, I feel like going back into former stages of my life.
And this is a resting unfinished quilt.
