little & big
Monday, July 20th, 2009Ok, ok! I’m updating the blog. You know how when you don’t get to something right away you fall behind, and then because you’re dreading having to catch up you fall even further behind and the cycle continues? Yeah. That’s how I feel about the blog at the moment.
So here are a couple of recents:
Headband I made for a “secret sister” gift for my daughter’s girls’ camp. Fairly easy with just a few small pieces of leftover fabric. I did put interfacing inside to give it a little more structure. Notice how I just cut the fabric straight and then put a little pleat in it to taper it down to the size of the encased elastic. It didn’t take too long. Now I need to make a couple for myself. I want to put a retro looking flower on it or something. fun.
Front and back of most recent baby announcement design (I also took the photos for this). I’m quite happy with it. I’m excited to see it when it gets back from the printer.
I don’t think I posted this one before - a fun little 5×5 encaustic painting. I just really love this paint.
And, in other news - well, I’m sure most of those who read this already know - I’m going back to school to finish my art degree. I’m actually pretty excited (and nervous) about this. I’m also hoping I can convince them to let me explore some more with encaustic in class - maybe independent study or a similar class, since they don’t officially teach it at the school.
