apply New Year everyone, here's hoping that 2012 will be peaceful and happy! Have just spent a week up in beautiful Scotland, and the magical Findhorn Bay where the sky is big and the light inspires! My delightful God daughter Lola helped us all remember why Christmas is so special.xxxx
Have managed to bash out a few russian lavender (!) dolls using the spoonflower printed fabric. I have backed them with red ginghams, stuffed them with lavender and embellished them with the myriad of haberdashery that I have stashed away in various draws, I really enjoyed doing the faces...next project will be just faces ......hopefully they will get to the post office in time for christmas pressies......frantic times...
ust had to post these 2 amazing images from my folks recent whirlwind trip to India.....I have gone past the jealous stage and am now writing to Father Christmas for a one way ticket to Delhi!
poonflower have now delivered me 2 sets of my russian doll fabric, I made a mistake on the dpi sizing when I uploaded the designs and now I have a huge version of the dolls.....seemed like such a good idea at the time, now I have 4 metres of the fabric, no ideas and no time to actually sew them up into anything vaguely interesting!! any ideas?
Feeling bad about neglecting my blog...so much work at the moment that I have nt had time to scratch my nose...even my pinterest addiction has taken a back seat...here are some illustrations that I have been working on for a future project! I drew the characters on paper , scanned them in and them collaged them together in Illustrator using scanned in bits of fabric and vintage textures of old paper...
ery very busy at the moment, and despite bashing out some more acorns and bracelets and crochet, I have not had time to even put them into my etsy shop...but here they are.....look like all the others.....ho hum!
utting up pretty bits of printed paper and old french books is a pastime I throughly recommend, especially if you are as stressed with the day job as I am at the moment...and probably cheaper than a stay in the Priory as well....but it does create a mountain of torn paper and very little else...but here are the fruits of my labour last night.......fluttering moths, with plenty of glue smeared everywhere for good measure!
