It is World Watercolor Month but I've not done as much painting this week as I normally do.
I've been sewing and I made another baby tunic top, the flowery part was a fat quarter
and I altered the white one because it was a bit short
I bought a few dressmaking patterns for myself seeing that I quite enjoyed doing these [some of the time]. I did a mock up of one from an old sheet, it looked dreadful. I remember now why I stopped dressmaking - the patterns never fit me properly.
Also this week I drew lots of snakes and coloured them with markers because
there was a contest at Spoonflower for Brightly Coloured Reptiles. I put them together on the computer and spent ages trying to get the repeat pattern working right which I eventually did and the result was this [showing 4 repeats]
Unfortunately I missed the deadline for the contest!
It's Paint Party Friday and one of my designs from last week is featured on their check in page,
thank you PPF. Hope everyone has a great week.
Lovely sewing and the snakes are gorgeous. Congrats on being featured today! Happy PPF and have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteYou paint, you sew and you create patterns! They are all lovely! I am trying to do watercolours for this month too but too slow. Sorry that you missed the last date for the contest!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding art and sewing! I just do a basic hand stitch, never learned to use a machine.
ReplyDeleteLuv the hare. Used to sew a lot not sewing now though. Always thinking about doing a patchwork project with with big basket of scraps. Happy you dropped by my blog
ReplyDeleteMuch🏝love
Do you know rabbits and snakes are considered enemies in some culture? I've always like rabbits more. Lovely arts you have here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog, have a lovely day.
Such a shame you missed the contest, it's a fabulous snake piece, reminds me of a puzzle. Your baby tunics are very sweet. Dress making patterns can be very frustrating many times I have had to alter a pattern. When I was at collage doing textiles each student made their own body pattern so every garment made fitted perfectly. Such a shame I am no longer as skinny as I used to be 30 years on :))
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF Tracey x
Your hare is just wonderful - they're one of my favourite creatures, and you've captured that lithe energy perfectly. Happy PPF!
