Busy week

This week has been very exciting. Remember the vine piece I showed you that I said you'd have to use your imagination for? Well you wont have to any more! I spent all week rolling paper to make vines, painting them and attaching leaves so I could make this mock up...
My work bay (that I'd just cleaned) went from this...

...To this in about 10 seconds (that's it looking fairly clean for all the painting I did!)

 And it turned my hands into this

But I came out with all these beautiful vines that took up half the studio and made a bit of a mess of the floor but look really exciting when they're all put together

 What do you think?

Butterflies this time

I know, it's been a while but I've been off researching for this new project - fashion embroidery this time - and my theme is butterflies :)

Moodboard - didn't make me hate it this time which is always a plus

These butterflies are pencil or watercolour.

Now I just need a way of turning them into stitch and make something fashion-y out of them...
