There are videos of people teaching versions but none gave me a pattern... I found one on line

at first I cut it out large since it was drawn to scale. Too big for a pin cushion but great for a box... so then I cut it out as shown.
I used pink felt scraps since the color of the month at rainbow scrap challenge is pink! yea! It looks wonky in these photos but it's a precious little sturdy 3 X 3 X 4 inches, stuffed with walnut shells in a little scrap bag, with fiberfil on top.
I just randomly put things on like thick threads, felt bits, beads...
love the felted spotty roof, the flower shaped beads
I stitched on it while chatting to my friend Cindy one afternoon. She suggested sticks and french knots
Mais Oui! Magnifique Love how the hand dyed size 5 perle cotton changes color.

| already on the job with my night time hexi sewing |
I happily played with my threads, beads, and worked by hand (the aqua box is one of 4 I got at IKEA or the container store, I think... they come in handy for little things to keep together

| paper and black pen |
I used a few on this quick color play
watercolor impressionist series Kuretake, ink pens and posca paint pens
I learn by doing... painted a pink triangle and used blue posca acrylic pen over it, and it looks blue with pink but was done the opposite way. How do colors look next to each other? try them and see
one day I despaired of my round face... now looking old because of a series of physical set backs so I thought, I'd paint the roundest face and make her pretty... a la Botero
Grace never liked her round face, but she faced the world full on, standing up for herself. She knew her worth and was who she was unapologetic-ally. The spiral is for time/infinity, the hand for her artistry, the heart speaks for itself as she always lived by her good heart. She deserved the moon and the stars .

Look like you had fun being creative.
ReplyDeleteI also took part in face off.
Do you intend to use the pin cushion for actual pins? I wondered how that would work with walnut shells inside. Maybe it's too cute and pretty to use it for pins.
