Digital Paintings

These are a couple of paintings I did in Corel Painter. The autumn leaves picture I did almost a year ago and just finished it. The one of the little girl I did this weekend. After searching for a photo of a child crouching I found one of myself when I was little and used it as a reference. So it looks a little like I did when I was small.

Embroidery

...is really fun. I embroidered this little decoration on woven fabric then sewed it into a little pillow. I'm not sure where I'm going to hang it yet but it could go on a door knob, or be used as any type of ornament. I have a big book called "Erica Wilsons Embroidery Book" (the book is an old withdrawn library book, sometimes those are the best!) where I found this stitch called Chevron Filling. I also learned how to make fringe, which is very easy to do. Below is a picture on how to make one.

Anna's Elephant

Anna made this Elephant as a christmas present for me. He was made to be a tree ornament but I don't plan on packing him away with the other ornaments. He's going to stay out all year. 

Evy's Bird

Evelyn made this adorable bird totally from scratch. She made the body out of paper mache, then glittered it, glued on the feathers, and made the branch out of gold wire. Pretty awesome.
