This was the desk on Sunday when it was snowing and we couldn't get out. During that time I created these
A card, a bookmark and a wallet. They are made with photographs of my textile pieces. I've machine stitched them.
Since then, amongst other things, I dug out these
watercolour paintings that I've had for years.
I bought them at a local art exhibition but never
got around to putting them in frames.
So as I am machine stitching everything in sight at
the minute I thought I would do it to these.
Don't stand still in our house for to long or
you could end up with a needle in you.
Time to pop over to see the rest of Julia's gang and
what they've been upto this week.
IF YOU ARE LATE READING THIS, WELL LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT LOVELY WATERCOLOUR NEXT
What a great way to spend a cold miserable day, creating something wonderful.Love the sewing items.

ReplyDeleteLove your card bookmark and wallet - not sure - are they fabric?
ReplyDeleteAs for the watercolour cards, I loved them as they were but then you stitched on them and gave them a new life - fabulous and what a great idea.

They are photographs of my textile pieces Neet
DeleteOh wow,what a difference some machine stitching makes to those watercolours...instantly brings them up to date! I love that and all the other stitching you've been doing. Wish I lived nearer so you could teach me.....

You certainly can't be scolded for adding stitching to anything! It just adds such personality...even to watercolors! Have a creative week:) Shel-PaperOcotilloStudio #51
ReplyDeleteWe are definitely tribe members because I am currently stitching everything in sight...fabric, paper, pages...paintings...I love it all. Stitching these old watercolors is brilliant. Period. Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #48

ReplyDeleteThese are all wonderful pieces that you have done...
ReplyDeleteI so love the view from your window. We live close to our neighbors so a lot of my window views are brick walls...smile...
Gosh Lyn, those photographed pieces are so real! what a fab way to spend a dull snowy day. I love that you were brave and stitched on the watercolour prints too...they look great. And I was taken too by the doodle bird on your lampshade...haven't seen you plays it's pen and paper for a while!
