Mustache Sisters

Mustache Sisters’ tea party

This is my favorite collaboration from 2009 with my friend Nina Frenkel.
Part of the reason this project happened was because of the recession last year when both of us had lots of time and kind of lost with our artistic vision. This fun and uplifting project really helped me though the slow and frustrated time!

The Whole Project started from an e-mail we got back in Feb 2009 from Hungarian Culture Center who were hosting a mustache contest.  So we decided to enter the contest!
Since we are girls who can’t grow mustaches…we decided to make a huge mustache to wear it!

This is the back--- Hungarian folk pattern that we patchwork

After the contest we did a work shop at Brooklyn Museum as Mustache Sisters, which was so much fun!!!

Getting questions about who we are from kids

We did a demo about how to make a mustache on a stick

And For Christmas we made some mustache ornaments for a craft fair which was nice and cozy project.
