National Bohemian Beer is a cheap beloved beer in Baltimore, MD.   



The armature is made out of a thin sheet of plastic melted around boning.  PVC piping holds a hidden bike helmet in place.  The white of the face is a heavily scotch guarded encore fabric.  The hair and mustache are sculpted out of upholster foam, patterned and covered with stretch vinyl.  The eye is a cardboard circle covered with an appliqued eye image.  The wearer sees through the scrim covered mouth hole.

After much math and forethought I cut out my pieces and laid them out.


Then I drew and cut out the spiral.


I appliqued the cut spiral pieces down, and added green fuzzy lines to separate the squares.  With my cat's support I hand quilted using a made up abstract organic pattern.


After hand quilting I machine quilted.  Finally I turned and finished the edges.
