 Doodlewash Watercolour Challenge

Hamburger and Fries
Iris

Paint with Wax Resist altered in Photoshop
then made into a repeating pattern



Painted Skirt
Can anyone remember the skirt that I painted?
I used Inktense Blocks and Pencils and they claim to be permanent when dry. Well I claim to differ, they are not. I washed my skirt on the handwash mode with a delicate liquid in my washing machine and hey presto the flowers have faded. It does still have some washed out colour but all the fine details are gone. This is what it looks like now.


This is what it was like



I put in a lining a couple of weeks ago too. 
I could buy some fabric pens and go over it or I could embroider it or leave it as it is, what do you think? My husband prefers the faded version.


It's come around again - it's Paint Party Friday

Cozytober Challenge
I made the tag for a tagtuesday challenge and decided to use it as part of this challenge as the prompt was book. I stuck it in a book that I'm altering with art work. The page was lightly painted a a few bits of text from a gardening page were added.


I've finished the painting on the skirt. I used inktense blocks and pencils.








I'm joining in with Paint Party Friday, have a great weekend.

Doodlewash, Inktober and WIP

Doodlewash - October Day 1 - Night

Day 2 - Message



Inktober - Day 1 and 2 together - Fish and Wisp


WIP - I decided to draw on a skirt. I've had it some years and not really worn it  but it looked like it needed something. It has three tiers and I've drawn flowers all around the bottom one. I was thinking about embroidery but I thought painting would be quicker, I don't want to waste too much time if it's awful when I've finished.

Altered T-Shirt

I altered a plain t-shirt the other week. I used vintage patterned fabrics to make flower shapes. I would normally use bondaweb to stick the shapes to the t-shirt but I didn't have any so I used fabric glue instead.  I hand stitched it in place, running stitches around the petals and blanket stitch around the middle of them. I have washed it since and the edges have frayed slightly but I think it has improved it.
