Another fabric ATC. This one is made from a piece of hand dyed synthetic knit. Not usually my type of material to sew with, but I loved the texture. I added a piece of red felt and a square of red heavy interfacing. Then I chose a few red bits from my bead stash. I had a torn piece of nylon knitting ribbon, so I added that, then I found a tiny scrap of red perle thread and tied it in a bow.
Today my journal was about Autumn and this page may even become a journal quilt.
I used a stencil, (I think it was craftworks) and sprayed green watercolour on. I let the paint pool and dry in little dots and they reminded me of leaves. I did some shadows on the trunk in green marker and white highlights on the other side with a white gel pen. Then I added some yellow orange and gold scribbles to the leafy bits - and it was Autumn. I think I would like this in fabric and I would do the shadows and highlights with free machine embroidery. Looks like time to get the sketchbook out.
And of course I need to nominate five bloggers for the liebster award. Five small bloggers who inspire me.
