Flamingos Rule!

7" X 7.5"

More little pointillist paintings. I took the paint daubers back out to paint one for a fellow blogger to use, so I tried a palm tree. I was born and raised in Florida. I love a flamingo...

These little experiments were fun to paint with the daubers. Then I added a few lines with marker.

They are about 7" square and were a challenge to machine quilt without sewing over my fingers.

I quilted them all with mylar metallic thread, rayon, and thicker cottons.

The seashell was quilted with neon rayon thread and a small zig-zag stitch sent up the shell in a straight line. Walking foot.
Then I kind of enjoyed the look so I went into the water with the zig zag.

Most of it was done with free motion.
The little fish were stenciled on with marker.

I'm thinking to hang them one under another with this at the top or bottom so they make a narrow banner. Good to bring in a little brightness to a small area. These are scrapbooking cardboard words.
This is why I hoard all kinds of stuff.

I wonder why I have done these little child like paintings? I usually take a lot of time with painting and drawings but this whole thing has been very free. Child like is a good definition. They look primitive but are kind of interesting to me. I used batting instead of my usual peltex this time, and they are flexible.
They have been fun, and fun is enough reason to make something.
