40 Week Drawing Challenge - 1 to 4

I joined in with a drawing challenge which was set by one of my friends. She provided us with a page of prompts which I cut out and stuck to each page. Although it was a drawing a week I did more than one a week so finished it before expected.

I used a book that I have had in a drawer for some time. It is a hand made book, the pages have all been painted or stamped etc. some being highly decorated even before starting the challenge. I used a rolling stamp on the cover and used a Zutter binder to bind the pages together. 

Fancy joining in the challenge?

Wedding Heart

I was at a wedding on Friday. I made this heart as a keepsake for them, various laces, embroidery and beads. I chose yellow/lemon as that was the theme - the bridesmaids wore yellow, the groom and men wore yellow waistcoats and ties and there were yellow flowers in the brides and bridesmaid's bouquets, buttonholes, table decorations etc.

The bride wore a lovely beaded lace gown, here is a close up of the bodice.

Imagine Art Quilt

My quilt will be shown at The Festival of Quilts in Birmingham, from tomorrow, 

6th -9th August.

The picture is a collection of my doodles and art work put together around a tree (with faces). The piece is called 'Imagine' as many of the quirky drawings are from my imagination. Follow the squirrels and vampire rabbit's tails to see what is at the end.

The fabric was printed by Spoonflower on cotton silk and was hand quilted with back stitch and running stitch. Beads have been added in places.
