Apple

Day 7 of #doodlewashoctober2019

Zebra and other cuts

These are pages from a sketchbook I keep for my experiments with my cutting machine.

The zebra was cut from. black card on a painted background.

I used the apple cut as a stencil [not the neatest painting]

The butterfly is yellow card on a painted background.

The following I cut and used as stencils, some from card [cereal boxes] some from plastic [folders].

Pink card cut outs. 

The green bricks are part of stencil - I stopped the machine half way through as the plastic wasn't fully secure.

Take a Stitch Tuesday- this weeks stitch is butterfly chain stitch.

This is a new one for me and it is quite easy, having said that I kept doing it wrong, putting the thread around  the needle the wrong way. I've used screen printed fabric for the base and it does look a bit puckered in places but I think that is OK for this particular project, it is part of a fabric journal. Each chain is worked over three straight stitches but for one row I used wooden beads instead of the middle straight stitch.

The challenge this month is fruits and veggies

the cherries are painted with watercolours and white pen for the highlights

the apple was done with brush pens

and the banana is pen and watercolour
