Altered Book

I've altered a few more pages in my Pissarro art book. Some of my art added to the pages was from a book that I did Doodlewash sketches in, the book fell apart so I thought I would select some images to alter more pages in this book.





I could see a landscape in this gelliprint so I outlined some parts with pen.

Galaxy Dress

It was my Granddaughter's third birthday so I made her a dress with matching bag and also a cake. She chose the theme of space and I found this lovely rainbow galaxy fabric. I attached some metallic ric-rac trim at the waist.


I also made a bag with the spare fabric.


The bag is reversible and has a silver metallic fabric inside.

Silly me didn't measure her as I wanted it to be a surprise and it was a last minute job. I assumed a pattern for age 3-4 would fit her but I'm afraid it is on the tight side and also has a big neck. It is also too long but that doesn't matter. Still she wore it for her birthday party but I doubt it will be worn again.

Masa -
 I didn't think this looked right, I don't think so much of the top would have been seen from that angle...So I took another photo from a different angle, I think it looks better.


But then I decided to have another try at Masa

I painted this just for the fun of it, no challenge or course. I saw an image on an advert which i liked so decided to paint it.

DAY 7 SESSION 2 - RENEE MUELLER
Abstract Landscape: The Water Lily Pond

Graphite and Gold Reverie
