I haven't picked up a needle or even sewn a button on anything for years, so I had an additional struggle trying to relate to the Make Art That Sells April assignment.
For inspiration I thought I'd take a peak into my old sewing box, which was like opening a treasure chest.
Since then I've been sketching ever since.
These assignments have certainly taken me on a journey of discovery in more ways than one!
Thanks Lilla Rogers
I even had a play in Photoshop (although the word play maybe stretching things a little) but I've still got so much to learn.
I'm entering this sewing tray for the Make Art That Sells April assignment.
I'll also link up with the Paint Party Friday
Thanks Eva and Kristin for hosting an inspiration link.
The sun is shining here, so I'm off out to play!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone
Wow this is gorgeous. It would make fabulous fabric...I'll send you a link to spoonflower when I'm on my phone!! I've seen some similar ones!! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeletePeace Giggles
Thank you Giggles! You always have such lovely things to say about my art. So encouraging which is wonderful.
DeleteHave a great weekend :D
Brings back memories of the days (and years) that I sewed. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy that my artwork has given you memories. I enjoyed painting it.
DeleteThanks for your visit and I wish you a wonderful weekend :D
Oh that's adorable! I love to sew and this makes me want to break out the summer dress patterns. Super art and a fun subject too :) Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I had difficulty with the initial idea as I haven't done any sewing for years. Not even to put a button on, but I finally got started. Now I have lots of ideas that I wish I'd had earlier... typical!
DeleteThis is so beautiful neesie!
ReplyDeleteReally... I see lots that I'd change, but then isn't that always the case? Thanks :D
DeleteLove it! Much neater-looking than my sewing box which is full of junk.
ReplyDeleteOh you should have seen my box Debra. I had to tie a rope around my waist before I delved in!
Deletethis is a brilliant illustration Neesie!! The details of all of the sewing box contents is fabulous. Great job on the assignment! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Linda, I wasn't sure but had to upload it as the timescale was running out. Now I have lots more ideas of designs, which is just typical! Happy PPF to you too :D
DeleteIt's so fun checking out your assignments, I've always wanted to take the class, just can't get myself to invest the money however, lol You are a superstar, love the sewing illustration!
ReplyDeleteWow thanks for the superstar bit, but I feel I have quite a lot further to go yet. If you wanted to just try out the MATS assignment there is one for only £25.00 for a Global Talent Search. Here's the details

Just to clarify I'd not on any commission for sales or incentives haha! Have a great week :D
very nice :) sunny and colourful :)
ReplyDeletei cant paint with Photoshop, its so awkward to use, give me Painter any day to use for digital painting
I've not heard of Painter Jennifer. I'm afraid I'm an old dinasaur as I paint using the traditional method. Paint and paintbrushes. It's bad enough for me to try to do the odd tweak in Photoshop in the latter stages :?
DeleteIts mostly known in North America since Corel is a canadian company, most people when I mention Painter here don't know what it is unless they do a lot of digital paint :)
DeleteReally luv this mosaic/collage
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF
much love...
Thanks Gillena, it was a challenge, but I got there in the end :D
DeleteWhat a clever cheerful piece!
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth, I struggled with the assignment to begin with, but once I finished this design, I came up with lots of other idea's... typical :D
DeleteLove it! Much neater-looking than my sewing box which is full of junk.

Haha... my sewing box was exactly the same. This illustration does not reflect my sewing box!
DeleteThanks for your visit... have a great weekend :D
Good grief, I thought at first it was a fabric picture. Excellent art. Blessings, Janet PS. I forgot about Spoonflower, that was so long ago. Good idea from Giggles.
ReplyDeleteAww thank you Janet, I'm really pleased with the final piece. It was a challenge, but I think I got there in the end. I'm now following Spoonflower thanks to Giggles looking out for me :D
DeleteWow! You have everything one might need in this sewing tray.
ReplyDeleteeverything is so REAL looking.

Thank you... you are too kind Sandy,
DeleteAt first I couldn't think what to do for the design, so I just painted what was in my very old unloved sewing box!
