January 2021

 

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!!

Quiet October

 

I did few tea related drawings.

                                                    used tea bag and some fabric scraps

Change of season, less light, not many stitches.

Thank you for stopping over,

Stay safe,

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,

Things I did in June....

Inspiration and, my interpretation of Gustav Klimt - The Kiss

I am pleased with my effort here.

Two small collage/applique pieces. 

as my guide for both, I used impressionist artist Claude Monet 's - Waterlilies and Glass with Peaches.

This again is my interpterion of the famous painting by Johannes Vermeer's  - The Girl with a Pearl Earing 

What you think of it?

I still have one big project which is almost at its end. Hopefully I can be motived to finish it soon. :)

Thank you for stopping by,

Hope you are enjoying the warm weather..

till next time,
