Art Quilts

Here are a few of my art quilts. I do much better with fabric then with paint!

I saw this,

On someone's blog awhile back. I just can't remember who's. I wanted to see if I could do it. I can't figure out why everything I try to sketch is crooked. Everything slants to the left. Is it the way I hold the book? The pencil? My eyes? My brain?

Playground again.

I watercolored this and I tried to mix some of the colors together. I like the way it turned out for the most part.

Quick Sketch

This is a quick sketch I did sitting in the school parking lot. It is my first sketch in my moleskine, which I really like. I think I will use my watercolor pencils to add a little color to it. I'm not sure what that big tank is for. Maybe water?

My attempt at faces

These are my first attempts at faces. I have a LONG way to go but practice makes perfect right?

ATC's

These are some ATC's I made today for a copper swap I am in on another group. I think 5 is my limit on how many I can make. I run out of ideas too fast! I really like the way these came out.

Playground

And since I had my grandsons here we went to the play ground for awhile and I sketched this WHILE I was there in public. Lucky for me no one came around while I was doing it. I want to add some shading to it or maybe watercolor it.

Drawing for Dummies

These are a few of the doodles from the above book. It's a nice reference book for people like me who can't draw very well. I have just skimmed through it so far. I have had my two grandsons here with me for 4 days and they keep me busy!
