Fabric Postcard Swap!

Here is the fabric postcard I made for the Craftsanity Postcard Swap. You can see the other ones over at flickr.

HAPPY EASTER!!!

Happy Easter! I thought this would be an appropriate post. These are my first attempts at egg drawing. I realize my lines are way to dark. I'm working on a larger scale which hopefully should be better.

Fabric Postcard Swap

I've been working on a fabric postcard swap with a "Spring" theme through Craftsanity.

I can't post any pictures yet but I will when it gets sent off.

Balance!

Here is a project I did a couple of weeks ago using the balance theme. It is painted with acrylic paints. I used some sandpaper and cardboard beer packaging to add some texture. I haven't posted any drawings yet since I have not been very happy with them , but I have been noticing some improvement. I'm starting to miss my sewing and I just have not had the time to start any new projects. Hopefully soon..

Collage

Here is another project from my design class. We had to use different sizes and proportions. I started out with the building cutout and went from there. It definitely is a little on the wacky side. I went through numerous magazines and just started cutting out interesting things that I liked and sort of put it all together.

Design Fundamentals

My blogging and quilting has kind of hit the back burner, hopefully I can change that and try to blog more. The reason for this is that I started two night classes at PBCC (our local community college), so it is kind of taking its toll physically and mentally. I really wanted to take some computer design classes like Photoshop and Dreamweaver but drawing and design fundamentals are pre-requisites for those courses. I have an interest in web design/graphic design so anyways this is a good start. It is kind of hard to go back to school, but I am determined to stick with it. Who knows, there might be a career change in the near future. This picture was a class assignment to demonstrate focal point. I am somewhat pleased with it, considering I just started cutting paper with no design in mind. We had to use black construction paper and cut out some shapes.

Another Baby Quilt!

Here is another baby quilt just finished. This was made for Marlene, who is a co-worker of mine for her daughter who is due anyday now. I helped pick out the fabric for her.
