Patchwork Bag, Watercolour Paintings and Card


Remember the pile of hexies I made? Well I've put them to good use and made a bag. I made it up as I went along so it's not perfect. By the way when I originally showed the hexies I said I made them on an evening while watching TV, I didn't mean one evening but many evenings.


I've been practicing more serious watercolours by copying from a book.
These were painted on loose pieces of watercolour paper. I'm not so keen on the flower.




It's my son's and his wife third wedding anniversary and as I couldn't go out to the shops I made them a card. The third anniversary is leather so I cut two hearts from leather. I used the brown card as that is what was used for their wedding invitations and I thought it would be a nice memory.

  2. Water color painting is difficult. I like your wall. And I love your bag. Would use it everyday. It is personal and not plastic :)


    Take care, stay safe.

  4. The Hexies have found a good home - love the 'scrappy' look of the bag.
    Watercolour is difficult to control, but the result is always soft and attractive.
    Nice card!
