After seeing this doll in my "mental screen" I made a basic sketch on a piece of paper. Little modifications here and there until it look like the creature I'd seen.
I copied the drawing on the fabric using a window as a light-box, then I chose the colors and started outlinig and coloring.
It is a slow, relaxing and meditative process ...and many hours of stitching ahead.
Looking forward to my creation.
Yet another creative project, Maria! The thread colours are wonderful!
ReplyDeletehehe, thanks Kathleen! I love those colors ;)
DeleteYou are so creative!! I enjoyed reading your blog too and also liked how you have shown that practice does help improve with drawing! Well done! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Shevaun, thank you so much!! I appreciate you going though my blog and your words. I wrote that post about practice because people keep telling me I'm talented but don't believe much when I tell I've learned and got good at it.
