It has been a long time ...

 I have not uploaded any of my creative work for a long time. Since, I post my work on Instagram, I haven't been using the camera to take the photos to post on my blog. 

 Finally, I figured out how to upload photos from phone to blogger. :)  There's a quite a lot I can share... yay !

I have been experimenting with collage/torn paper art, and recently tried incorporating fabric to my mixed media art. 

These are some of my recent attempts.

April showers ...

 A sewing project with the fabric pieces that I dyed few months ago. 

I love patterns that I am able to create with running stitch. 

Also tried weaving couple fruits. I do like the way they turned out. I have several of these small weaved pieces now. I thinking of putting them together in a fabric book. I don't know if I 'd be able to make it they way I imagine.  Will try :)

Beginning

 2022 !

A week has already come to end of the new year.

A brightly coloured scarf to chase the winter blues away ! I used several old scarves, that were not used for a quite a long time make this long colourful one. I cut them into squares (not exact measurements) and pieced  them together, and using the running stitch added more texture. Also crocheted an edging. 

I have already worn it few times. 

Wish you a wonderful day !

Thank you for visiting my blog,

Almost end of the year ...

 

Recently, I did some natural dyeing. I used pomegranate skins, blueberry, avocado skins and spinach and celery.

Fabric pieces are all cotton, and has a small woven design on it. I am not sure yet, what I want to make out them. I am pleased with the colours.

Happy Holidays !!!

Best wishes for 2022!

Few things in July..

I did another embroidery piece, this is inspired by artist Henry Matisse's 'Woman with a Hat'.

July was extremely warm, which was also ideal weather for ciders/beers; couple of sketches I did while enjoying cider.

Left hand crochet : making a baby blanket for a friend.

Finally, after 10  months of sewing, I finished the scrap quilt. I am happy with my effort here.

Hope you are enjoying the weekend,

May went by..

Balance ; Inner and Outer

It is stitched on naturally dyed fabric. Finding inner calm during stressful times.

After quite some time, I did some pencil colour drawing too.

Summer scarf

I was given these scarves by a friend (her friend was throwing them away), couple of summers ago. They were sitting on my fabric pile, and, I was not sure what I wanted to do with them. 

I finally thought of making a longer scarf using all of them. I am not sure if it will turn out the way I planned. 

Gustav Klimt's - Kiss

Inspired by the painting, I'm doing my own piece. So far, I have enjoyed the stitching.

have a cup of tea ...

* I just noticed blogger has done changes over the last month....new things to learn.

Learning something new...

first piece

While browsing you-tube I came across rug hooking videos and, several tutorials (not many left hand ones though) later I made my first small piece.

For my second piece, I sketched a more detailed pattern. I am experimenting with different types of textures. So far, I have used bits and pieces of yarn, felt, velvet and, t-shirt material.

Scrap quilt is coming long..

 Today there was beautiful sunshine, for me to spend some time with my projects.

Thank you for stopping over,

till next time,
