Transforming a dog's dinner

I was at a friends last weekend for a painting session which we both gave up on after a couple of hours - lol! We both struggled a lot and I overworked mine into a dog's dinner. However, I looked at it this morning and decided to work into it with some inktense pencils and some stenciled text with soft pastels. I love the effects text gives to a piece of work and am pleased at how this particular piece turned out. Shame I didn't take a picture of the original version.

I'm going to use as one of my sketchbook pieces for my creative sketchbooks course, module 4.

I love the shape of horse chestnut leaves so picked some while walking in the park yesterday to use as a base for some drawings / paintings.

And this....... really want to use some text in my textiles.

Bye for now...

A girl can never have too many bags.

I've just made two simple bags from patterns - an Amy Butler and Lazy Girl patterns. I did a workshop to give me some confidence and finished the second one at home. I'm pleased with the final versions and can see lots of creative possibilities here with other types of fabric or my own hand dyed/ block printed/ screen printed fabric.

Bye for now x
