Almost end of summer

 

I finished my hand stitched portrait of  Audrey Hepburn. What do you think?

Spent lots of time practicing watercolour skills; drawing with referencing photos and still life objects.

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,

After a very long time....

I have not posted any of creative pieces for a quite long time. My camera battery stopped working and I was not able to fix the problem.  I kept postponing getting it fixed(specially with all Covid restrictions) and finally managed to get it work( i think) 

I have been keeping busy with bit of creative work.

Gustav Klimt inspired

Henry Matisse's blue willow was the reference for this collage/applique.  

Still life collage/applique

Another collage/applique "red scarf"

Couple of Modigliani art in running stitch

I do love, how the both ladies turned out. My eyes needed a rest after so many tiny stitches. And, I had got new glasses :)

I hope you are well and safe,

I was able to finish my latest Modigliani inspired portrait. Other than that, I have not done much creative work. 

Hoping that 2021 brings much needed relief from covid-19.

Wishing everyone a safe and a healthy new year!!
