What a Lingerie Buyer Does in Needlepoint

My Camouflage Bra and Tap Pants Canvases

You may not know that the famous SharonG started her working career as a lingerie buyer.  That may explain seven pages of painted canvases of bra and tap pants sets on her website.

There are corsets as well. Here's a snazzy leopard print one. I'm sorry I can't find others for you to see online.  They are gorgeous!

I'm not the only one charmed by SharonG lingerie.  Check out what Robin King did.

Two years ago I stitched the above pair of canvases.  I thought folks would like to reread how I got from the photo above to the one below.  (I know some of you remember but there are lots of new visitors here at Blog.)  Start at this link, then keep clicking on Newer Posts to follow my needlepoint lingerie journey.  You won't believe what SharonG suggested I do to this canvas!

On the Airplane with George and what came of it....

Bet you didn't know the late George Carlin inspired needlepoint designs. Are you familiar with SharonG's funny bras? Want to hear where she got the idea?

Here are more of the lingerie designs. Certainly this is not what grandma called NP! (The breakfast bra and matching tap pants are on page 5.)

Artists finding each other funny and inspiring each other. I'd love to know what George took away from his meeting with SharonG! The moral is we don't know how we impact other people. I can only hope my impact is good and inspiring and try to learn from other folks' inspiration.

CNN picked up the story and is researching it a bit, maybe for their news or for Larry King or Anderson Cooper. All depends on whether they need something a bit quirky to remember George by.

Rest in peace, funny guy. And thanks.
