Painted Skirt

I don't know if anyone remembers but a couple of years ago I painted flowers on a skirt, they were really bright. When I washed it however the flowers faded considerably. I wore it again but when it was ready for washing I thought all that paining might disappear. So I have hand stitched around everything using running stitch and backstitch mainly. I washed it afterwards, I don't think the painting faded this time after all.

Upcycling

I asked my daughter if she wanted some out of date rice for the kids for crafts, she didn't so I said I'll see what I could do with it.

I used pudding rice, some old cord and a scrap piece of wood. I glued the pieces on then painted with acrylics. I guess the type of glue and paints aren't suitable for small children.

I've been working on a postcard for the Twitter Art Exhibit. Postcards are sent in from all over the world which are sold and the money raised goes to a good cause. This year it is to benefit the Encephalitis Society.

I did several postcards but didn't like them enough but I've decided on the hare as the painting on that came out the best. I did a little 4"x4"version for a Doodlewash prompt earlier this month.

I painted this version on Bristol board, the painting didn't look good so I did another version on watercolour paper, the painting was still not right. I also did a cat but didn't like it's nose.

Happy Paint Party Friday
