Skirt..15 minutes

Cotton makes for fast through the machine and stable cutting.

a. Fold fabric in half, right sides together.
b. 3/4 inch from top, cut, arching up on gentle slope to desired waist/hip (or where you want  to wear it) width...give yourself seam allowance.
c. Cut down open side (not the folded side!) to the desired length. Shape your side cut as desired...for slight A or for straight.
d. Cut another piece for back.
e. Sew sides. Press seams open.
f. Turn over waist band and sew. (you can do covered elastic or drawstring..I prefer clean and custom fit).
g. Hem

Tailor made nest. Tree right by the house.

On A Walk

A very pretty day, n'est pas?

.

Reminding me of many happy tide pool adventures. Though no sea urchins this time, a nicely impressive crab

Such a view for a picnic table. 

Walking Pekingese

Black heavy outline influence continues. Plus the background being non-white. 

Paper Picture

A few influences lately. Black outlines and tissue paper laid down as paint. Construction paper doesn't do what tissue paper may, but it is a start. Black outline exhibit also revealed smiles in bronze. 

Blooming Brilliant

 Biked around a town about 80 miles away.  Different vistas and different flowering trees and bushes.  The fragrance delightful. Oh how supreme is Spring.

Deer Portrait

Same idea as bunny picture. The deer figure was my Mom's when she was little.  This time I used some paint to add some highlights to his "fur." Stretch canvas, spray paint, fabric, paint, stitching. 16 x 20.

My idea to to abstract this further to the degree that it is elements of deer rather than "cute" deer.  We shall see.
