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!!

September went by fast...

 Baby blanket

I finished the baby blanket and, sent it off to the baby. Baby's mom I liked it a lot, I hope baby would like it too. 

Now, that the days are getting shorter, I cannot do much sewing except for weekend mornings.

Bit of August..

 

August went by, I did couple of projects. Both had lots and lots of stitches :)

This portrait inspired by painting of  artist Amedeo Modigliani. I love his style of painting. This my attempt to create the same in a different medium. this measures approx. 8x12. It turned out better than I thought it would be. I have sketched few more to try.

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,
