    holiday garland is nearly done and painting progress

    diy diyholiday paintingprogress doodles

    Happy Tuesday <3

    glad to be back! 

    The fabric garland I was working on is now hanging in my dining room <3 It’s not completely finished yet but I like the idea of adding pieces perpetually. There’s still room on the string for plenty more. I’ll probably find a good stopping point this week and keep it up throughout the holidays. 

    I also spent time on a few canvases. I have a better idea of how I want “Semi-real” (first picture) to turn out. I’m still figuring out placement and will work on it more this upcoming week.



    I’m a little stuck on the untitled unicorn/red bull piece, but will work on it more too.


    Finally, I decided I wanted to re-work the face in my untitled sunscreen painting. 

    between the bigger projects i did a little drawing as well.

    

    i need to practice on realism with more reference pictures, but i love drawing whatever i want most of all.

    Lastly, I stamped this headband with the new letter stamps I got from the thrift store :D I love the font and think it’d be cute to color In the letters.

    between putting more time into the canvases, I really hope to do more drawing- I think it needs to be an everyday thing.

     

    Wish me luck

     

    Thank you for stopping by

    I hope you and yours have a very lovely holiday ♡

    Garland progress, more tall can flowers, and finished decals

    ha p py n ew we e k!

    Big strides with the handmade garlands!

    I still need to sew up the fabric stars and add a little plush stuffing, but other than that, the only thing left to do is to combine all the elements ^^


    These garlands are a combination of scrap fabric, ribbon, buttons, and string- sourced from old pajamas, scrunchies, pillow cases, etc. The cute little line art drawings of the girls are courtesy of an old tee shirt I’ve been cutting up and using for pieces. I should look into who the artist/brand is. I feel like I found out in the past, but don’t remember who it was.

    I really like how this is coming out :) I love the colors and textures - they feel like the holidays to me. I also got to incorporate some super cute accessories from Megan :]

    The fabric stars i cut out are kind of small so I’m not sure how visible the details will be once it’s hung on the wall. I wouldn’t mind cutting bigger pieces and re-working if I felt like it later on. So far, i love it though :-)


    I also made more tall can flowers this week! <3 

    These have been so fun to make and are more doable than ever since I got my hands on some cut gloves. The edges of the aluminum can be tedious. I work so much quicker without risking my fingers. 

    Lastly, I wiped out the pile of collage projects for good!

    Finally added the finishing touches to these plaques I’ve been working on. At long last removing them the WIP pile because they feel complete. 

    ᵀʰⁱˢ ʷᵉᵉᵏ: 

    craft: Chuck E Cheese project

    canvases: Niphetos & [untitled unicorn project]

    I think I may want to work on crafty stuff during the week and paint through the weekend? I want to carve out some time to revisit the canvases. I would also really love to pick up watercolors again. 

    I will make time to do all of these things


    thanks for coming with me
