sew what


I got the urge to make another kind of fish a few days ago. I wanted to do some embroidery and quilty kind of stuff. I used one of my felt fish as the base and some of the (way too) many batik fabrics for the colors and textures. I've re-done the face 3 times, I was making it way too complicated and it looked bad.

Very cool!

We did wait for you tonight, but you didn't show! Some of us even sat outside in the sun!

Sun envy! It's been a cool summer here, good for crafts though.

Oh, it's beautiful! I know what you mean about making something too complicated. I'm currently (over)doing my mini art quilt and I don't know if it's getting better the more I add, or worse. I guess I'll know when it's done!

I think I get too wrapped up in the details with beading, maybe embroidery will help me slow down. This fish is partly inspired by those pillows you got, Jos...he might be a pillow or might be a quilt square.
