Whale and Frogs

I used a whale and frogs from the practice drawings to add them to some old digital backgrounds I had done years back.

Happy Paint Party Friday

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.

The lower design of whales was for a contest which used a limited colour palette [their choice]
