Moscow – testing how to do a presentation on the blog.

I'm just working out how to add some of my presentation events… So this is short… it's just a few images I took in Moscow… Quilt, texture inspiration… I added my music, but was unable to use it in you tube, so I used theirs and the timing is a little out…. but I'm sure…

Quilting pattern

This is the preparation for the quilting. I folded a piece of paper in half and  lightly sketched the existing image on the paper… I'll finish it… then draw it in pen and trace the image onto my quilt with a wash out pen. It looks busy, but it will be the same color as…

Fanciful Aggy No 2.

The picture is complete… now I'm going to prepare it for quilting. The background quilting will be a totally different pattern.   These are the pencils used… prisma. The design is my own and I know the leaves are not the right shape for an aggy, but… I like them.

Fanciful Aggy No1.

I've traced the image onto the fabric in pencil. You can rub out the lines you don't need, just as if you are working on paper. At this stage I've just started coloring with pencil.   I'll added a little  definition with a black pigma pen. Unlike an illustration, this is going to be quilted…

Texture and color inspiration.

Texture and color in Ireland My sister said that she was disappointed that I didn't add more of my trip photos to the albums… well it was difficult with the Internet.. I had the albums prepared and now I can add them. If you love color, and texture….just take a look at these photos… specially…

Spring

The shed was in a bit of an uproar this afternoon when a rather large kookaburra decided to visit… I'm used to small birds flying in, but the kookaburra was a bit of overkill really. He smashed around until I went out and he followed… oooh, kookaburra poop. I thought you might like to see…
