SR - New Year Challenge

I've joined in with the Sketchbook Revival Happy New Year Challenge - 5 Days

Day 2 - Rabbit and Flowers / Watercolour

Day 1 - Rounded Shape /Ink

We were given a shape to use with I copied and then did it digitally and quickly because I didn't have much time

Day 3 - Curvy Shape /Ink

I painted it with watercolours before I remembered that it was an ink challenge so I drew over the lines with ink using a bamboo pen. My original outline was drawn with a liner pen.

This is the shape we were to use.

The bamboo pen and bottle of ink.

Golden Pear Decorations

I made quite a few of these pear decorations before Christmas for gifts but I forgot to take photos of them.

I used an old faux leather jacket which I spray painted with gold paint for the front and back. On the front I used some metallic type organza, green and orange sewn on with gold threads. Gold braid was stitched on down the centre. A thicker gold thread was used to stitch front to back and also the leaf. The pear was slightly stuffed before closing up. I used the ends of the threads to add a few straggly bits at the bottom as stamens. The stalk was a small piece of faux leather rolled up. I included gold thread for hanging.

I hope you all have a lovely holiday

 

Handmade Gifts

 At Christmas time I exchange handmade gifts with my arty friends. I forgot to take photos of the storage bubble pods that I made. These are the gifts I received from my friends.

This was the most unusual, a painted ice skate Christmas decoration.

Two fabric containers

I've already used them for transporting some items to a 'sew-in' and a workshop 

Little Angels

 I've not been blogging recently, I've not been very creative. But I have made these little angels, my Grandchildren. 

I cannot take credit for the angel bodies, these I found on the web. I combined faces with the found angels, printed them on t-shirt transfer paper [two for each child, one as a mirror image], heat transferred to fabric, roughly trimmed, stitched around them stitching in a piece of ribbon for hanging, final trim.

It's Friday, so that means Friday Face Off with Nicole.

Autumn Trees

 

We had a lovely walk around Bolam Lake today in Northumberland, UK 

This tree in the water had some interesting ridges on its bark and there was a mass of autumn leaves next to it., gorgeous colours of Autumn.

Rose

 I started with a rose created on my tablet

I copied and pasted several times to make a repeating pattern using Photoshop on my computer.

I altered the rose using Filter/Stylize/Glowing Edges and got this

I made this into a repeating pattern too

Friday Catch Up 28Oct22

 My entry for Friday Face Off

I drew the face on my tablet quite a while ago but I added it to this photo today.

This is a drawing my son done when he was a small boy. [t was actually blue ink but I darkened it to show up more]

I did my version of it below, I prefer the original.

Slow Loris

The slow loris is on the endangered species list. This is due to a combination of habitat loss and from hunting. Some people like to keep them as pets for which they are not suitable.

Watercolours and liner pen.
