Embroidery Pillow Design

After I fished the designs it was time to sew it onto the fabric.  I hand embroidery the flower with different stitches and color thread.  I enjoyed this step and it was fun to see the pillow transform from plane white to a beautiful flower design.  I will post the case in the pillow soon.  There is a little surprise yet to come that I still have to add to the pillow.  What do you think?     

Flower Color Swatches

I have been working on pillow case designs.  Here are the colors I choose for my flower pillow case.  I was going for young, modern, with a vintage feel.  I wanted the colors to pop on the fabric.  What do you think?

Sketch Pattern

After finding images and colors that I enjoyed I looked up photos of different types of flowers.  From those photos I drew out the flowers.  Above are my drawing of the flowers.  I arranges them on paper that is the same size of the pillow case.  I used this drawing as my pattern for the pillow case.  Coming soon are the colors I choose and the finale product.     

New Project- Process 1

Mood Board

I am working on a new project for pillow cases.  In the mood board are some things that inspired me.  Nature is the main inspiration for me.  I like the colors n flowers,  fruits, and the sky.  In the next week I am going to continue to post images showing the process to the finale product.  Once the product is finish it will be for sale on Etsy.  Hope you enjoy and learn about the steps it takes to make art. 

A New Year and New Adventure

I am typing to say Happy New Years.  This year I have many fun new adventures and goals.  I am starting off the new year by moving to Fairfax Va to attend the Master of Art Education Program at GMU.  I am packing up tonight and moving to my new place tomorrow, I cant wait.  One of my many goals is to draw, paint, or design once a day and to post my progress and work on this blog.  I would love to hear you opinions and advice.

Wrapping Trouble

Its the time of year for shopping, wrapping, baking, and decorating.  I tried to imagine how christmas would be if I was a reindeer.  It would be difficult with no thumbs.  I would get all wrapped up in the ribbon and bows.

Crazy Week

Crazy week ahead, with work and two trips to Fairfax VA.  I have an interview with GMU for there master of art education program tomorrow.  Wish me good luck.  Crossing my fingers.
