It is magnificent and so inspirational. I bought the video and having studied it had my first go at painting the clouds on beach huts. These need more work so I won't be putting them up yet.
In my last blog I mentioned that god daughter Harriet had been making lovely little knitted dogs, the schnauzer was a hit with Sarah who has a real one. Harriet's flying needles will be creating another soon with a red collar and black pads. She and my other god daughter sister Rose are both talented artists.
Last summer when I couldn't find a blind to match my new bathroom, Harriet spent the holidays before going up to uni painting me one. It was based on a landscape by Munsch (he of The Scream) with fabric paints . I think it's really stunning. Even better, the bathroom is at the top the stairs so I can enjoy it ever time I go up them.
Great samples. Though I like them all, the red really is effective!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blind too. Talented girls they are. Is Harriet studying arts at Uni?
Thank you Amanda
ReplyDeleteIn the cold light of day I was less keen on the painted stuff as the paint had gone on too heavily. Maybe I’ll try watering it slightly so it obscures the fabric underneath only partially I think having a really smooth surface might make it easier to paint. Experiment experiment! The Kemshalls do use glazed cotton on silky type materials. I do enjoy free motion quilting and aspire to be as good one day
Harriet is studying History of Art at uni, not sure that gives her a huge number of opportunities to paint or draw but she is really enjoying it. She also loves working at an auctioneers in the holidays cataloguing for a sale and is currently doing this for the fourth time
