Sewing

I made another dress for one of my granddaughters. I've got two now, number two was born last week.

This dress has fairies on it and sparkly bits. My granddaughter loved it, when she tried it on she didn't want to take it off. I love the colours of the fabric.

Enjoy your week.

Day 12, session 1 wirh Alexandra Gabor - Quick Character Design

I had another go at this. The first time I did with watercolours and only found one character in my blobs. These were done on my android tablet and I found them much more successful in fact I could have carried on a lot longer.

I did another tree in my altered book to go with the other three I did last week. I don't like it.

Day 13, session 2 with John Muir Laws - This is your brain on paper: Attention, curiosity and creativity

I did this by watching an Angela Anderson video on UTube. I didn't like it when I had first done it but it's grown on me.

Sketchbook Revival

Day 4, session 2: Concertina Fun: Make a fun mini concertina book with Karen Stamper

Day 6, session 2 with Helen Wells. Expressive Sketchbooks: Seeking inspiration outside.

I used small sticks and the end of a feather to draw these with  ink. I used photographs of interesting trees for inspiration. I think this has been my favourite session so far.

The pocket holds an altered postcard.

Tiger in Acrylics, Watercolour Sketches and Sketchbook Revival

 Acrylic painting on canvas sheet. 

I had a Utube video on at the same time I painted this. It was Angela Anderson who was painting a tiger and although I painted a different tiger I still picked up some tips.

Sketchbook Revival 2021 started yesterday.

The first video was with Danny Gregory and we had to use a number of different mediums using each for 1 minute to draw a shoe. This mini ornamental shoe was a gift from a friend visiting Dubai.

I used an aqua marker,flex marker,uni posca, uni posca metallic, inktense block [with water] and a mangaka flexible.

The second video was with Carla Sonheim and we did one-liner drawings, i.e. don't take your pen off until you finish the drawing. I used an altered book for the first drawings hence the strange background.

I picked two of the drawings and developed them into these. I used coloured pencils and marker pen.

Don't forget to check out Paint Party Friday, it's their 10th birthday!
