One of my groups is holding a swap for these fabric cones that are to be made using Ruth Rae's instructions in one of the current magazines. I haven't joined the swap because I don't have the instructions, but I wanted to make one anyway, so this is my interpretation. I hand dyed the fabrics and laces to get that mauve-pinkish color and used cranberry thread to sew it all together.
I woke up this morning in a creative mood. I actually bought these pencils a couple of years ago and never really did anything with them. Well after reading a tutorial on using watercolor crayons, I dug up my pencils, wondering if they would be suitable for this technique. This was the results of my before breakfast playtime.
I have always been interested in some form of art from the time I can remember. Though my art forms have changed many times over the years, I'm sure I will keep creating something artistic for the rest of my life.
