Patchwork Bag, Watercolours and Digital Paintings

I hand stitched the strips from fabric scraps but used the machine to sew it all together including a lining.


Doodlewash Watercolour Paintings


This one is for the prompt chocolate, so rather than do a bar or something I thought I would do chocolate mice

Cozy
I saw a lot of swans yesterday but non of them were wearing a scarf and hat.

Doodlewash and AJJ

I've used a few of the Doodlewash prompts for this, coat, berries, feather and boots.
The theme at Art Journal Journey is also birds so I'm joining that too.

Doodles to Fabric Samples

An android tablet doodle
made into a repeating pattern

I ordered a fat quarter of fabric printed at Spoonflower



Another doodle



I used this one on a photograph

Other designs I had printed on fabric
A tea towel printed on linen

Poppies printed on cotton - The design could be improved I think.

This one was printed on velvet, I love how this fabric prints, the colours are usually so clear.

Doodle to Repeat Pattern

The pattern below has been arranged to in a way to create this repeating pattern.
The doodle was created on an android tablet then played with on the computer to create the repeat.


And another one

I've recently sent off for fabric swatches of the two patterns above so it will be interesting to see what they look like.

Another tablet doodle, the original is above, then I altered it in Photoshop using a couple of filters.

Doodlewash and Sewing

Doodlewash
19 - Decorate, 20 - Pumpkin, 21 - Grin

22 - Tentacle, 23 - Stars

Sewing
I was looking through some drawers and found a couple of old fabric samples of a design I created at college many years ago. Part of it was pleated so I took advantage of that and made a little apron.

And I also made some dribble bibs from purchased fabric.

And it's Friday so that means it is Paint Party Friday!
