My home project is finally underway! I don't anticipate that it'll take me too long, but I hope I'm not wrong. After a long brainstorming period, I came up with the idea of drawing a mouth while we were reading Canterbury Tales in English. One of the characters, the Prioresse, is described as being a very attractive nun, and at one point the narrator takes special care to describe the way she eats, as if the people who eat with her watch her mouth and sexualize her actions to the point where they can't focus on their own food. I was fascinated by her being reduced to a pair of lips, since this still happens today, 600-700 years later.
My plan is to color the lips with several different media (most likely paint and colored pencil will be used, but I definitely plan on using lipstick and I may use tulle and lace as well), giving it a patchy look. This is supposed to represent how she may seem important for only one thing at a distance (the patches of different media will ideally blend together to create a uniform-ish image at a distance), but when you get closer, you see the different aspects of her personality and realize that she is good for more than just one thing.
