Snowman

I based the above painting on this snowman I made with Sculpturemold Modeling Compound. I made his hat from cardboard which I covered in paper. The snowman was painted with gesso and acrylics for the nose, the hat with acrylics. I used pins for the mouth and buttons, google eyes and a piece of scrap fabric for the scarf. I forgot to give him arms.

And I have another patchwork bag made from scraps. The patchwork was all hand stitched but the bag was put together including a lining with the aid of a sewing machine.

It's Paint Party Friday!

 

Doodles to Repeat Patterns

A repeating pattern created from this single flower

This one was the easiest to make into a repeating pattern, I just tiled the squares as they were.

 

Watercolour Sketches, Cushion and Digital Doodles

Coffee and Herbs

All of the above plus Sunrise

I made a cushion with the fabric I had printed at Spoonflower. This is the velvet fabric, it prints lovely and is nice to touch.

Digital Doodles 

I combined the two

Its Friday, so it's

 

Fabric Swatches

I ordered a batch of fabric swatches from Spoonflower. They are about 8" square but I decided to reduce the size of some of the designs so they would fit multiple repeats on the swatch. I don't think it worked well with some of them so I've increased their size back.

Now I've bought swatches all these fabric designs are for sale on Spoonflower.

All these were printed on Petal Signature Cotton. They don't print as bright and vivid as on the velvet.

I used my sister's knitting book as a background for this one.

This is the original design for this pattern

And made into a repeating pattern

The colours look a bit different to my original design
