Paintings, Cushions, Doodlewash

I've done similar paintings to these before but I wanted to get some fabric printed to make square cushions so I painted new pictures.
This is the fabric made into cushions, I used a velvet fabric from Spoonflower.
I like the feel of the fabric and the colours are very vibrant.

Day 15 - Skies


The picture below is actually bigger than the 3 skies above and it is painted on watercolour paper rather than cartridge paper.

Day 16 - Chameleon
Day 17 - Bananas
Also done on watercolour paper.

Cushions, George and Rhino's

A couple of cushions I made for my daughter who likes designs from the 40's, 50's and 60's including those of Lucienne Day.  I designed these after looking closely at her work and had the fabric printed at Spoonflower. [this fabric is not for sale]

This is George. He was printed on our 3D printer and painted by my talented brother Martin who has the real dog called George. I think I shall have to get Martin to paint all our 3D prints as he made such a good job of it. My 3D painting always looks very crude.


More drawing practice copying from the '20 ways to draw a cat' book.

Inktober 9,10,11,12 and Textured Squares Cushion


Inktober

Day 12 - Whale
Day 11 - Cruel
Day 10 - Flowing

Day 9 - Precious


I finished the embroidery on this cushion a long time ago and then it got left on a pile of to do's. I decided yesterday that I must finish some of the pile and at long last I have finished it, the cushion that is, not the pile!
I used squares of different textures and shades of brown/beige/cream. Likewise with the threads. The background fabric is velvet, reused from a pair of curtains.





It's not the best cushion I've ever made but at least I have finished it.
