It's been a long time

Since i last did some decent embroidery work.
I did do some detail work in the projects for my upcoming book, but that was just some stitches and lines here and there.
I enjoyed taking out my pink embroidery hoop and spend a bit of time working on this embroidered kokeshi doll. It's based on an illustration i did for another project and it was well suited to use as a pattern for embroidery. Not sure what i will use it for or if i will use it for anything for that matter, but it did put me in the mood to draw up some more patterns and do some more embroidery work. Wonderful way to stay productive while lounging in front of the tv.

Special Day Preview

Today is a special day.
The first batch of projects for my book have been picked up by the courier to be sent to the publisher for photography!

And see, the tiny butterflies flew into one of the projects!
Little sneak preview for my loyal readers here.

Fabric collage wall art

This project was a work in progress for a long reason. No particular reason, you know, sometimes you just have a project that's just there all the time waiting to be finished but never really gets the priority to finish up. Finally i have. I think the girl turned out cute. Since one project leads to another, i'm thinking of doing some more smaller pieces with only cute girls. With this project i didn't have a set idea of how i wanted it to end up when i started. I've put some fabric on a framed canvas and opened my fabric scrap box and let the fabric pieces lead the way. Next time i will draw a sketch first and start cutting and sewing next.

Would be nice as nursery art, but if your anything like me, always a kid at heart, you don't need a nursery to put it up on the wall! hehe

I have one more of these small canvasses. I'll surely be on the lookout for more. I think they're sweet and i have more ideas for them!
