They Keep Coming

I had intended to do one purse a day, until I'd used up my frames.  However, life had other ideas.  There seemed to be a lot of running around going on this week, but the next one is now done.

It's another one to fit in with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge colour for this month, but I liked this fabric and thought it would be perfect for a purse.

Again, the interior is black.  That makes four purses so far, and the fabric has been chosen and is on the table for the next one.  The next one isn't black!

Paisley Update

Just a quick update on the paisley page.

On the painted strip, I've taken the flower and leave motif from the fabric and, using fine liner and watercolour pencils, I've repeated the motifs right across the page.

There is some more work to do on the fabric before it can be added.

Two new pages

I have two more pages in progress for my Ledger.

The first began with a cross stitch project I'm doing as a gift for a friend.  We were to look for simple shapes in different things for a page and I started looking at the shapes in this stitching.

This then reminded me of the picture of how peacocks "see", the colours are not what we see.  The peacock feathers I painted reflected the colours that peacocks see, combined with some we see.  There is stitching to be added to this page, but it's damp stretching at the moment.

As I used the peacock on the other page, I had to find something for my simple shapes page.  I used the black and white fabric as my inspiration.  I need to add swatches to this page, but of course, I had to wait for paint to dry.
