I don't know that I actually can... but I want to do more art, or just more bits of practice here and there.
These are some bookmarks I made from Gelli prints to go with Christmas gifts.
In November I made these pillows as gifts:
The two larger pillows were for a wedding shower, the smaller ended up being a Christmas gift to a friend. I stenciled and lettered with acrylic paint mixed with fabric medium onto some solid canvas material I had around, then sewing it into pillows.
And so sorry for the grainy photos, but these are some box cushion floor pillows I just finished for our living room. I want to make floor-sitting more appealing to us all, and these help a lot.
I used thrifted, remnant, and repurposed material that I had around AND I got to learn a new skill-- tufting!! That took some doing, but really makes the pillows firmer and keeps the stuffing from migrating.
And for the sake of reality, here is the world's ugliest sourdough bread I baked this morning. The jalapeno cheese bread was supposed to be a gift, but... I guess not. Gah. You win some, you loose some.
Floor sitting. what a great idea.
ReplyDeletethe jalapeno cheese bread that you gave us was very good.
Those floor cushions look lovely! What kind of padding do you put in them to keep them a bit stable?
ReplyDeleteSo excited you're trying to do more creative things this year and I can't wait to see your posts of them, Katie! Also, those bookmarks are just *SWOON*
