Summer Craft Marathon 2018 - Week #6

This week's task: Use only needles, threrads, scissors for your creation. And a surface, any surface would work.
Would a disposable coffe cup work? Well, Anna, I say it would!
The geometrical pattern on this coffee cup was the inspiration. I "followed" the pattern with the needle and a new upcycle embroidery cup popped-up!
It took longer than expected (and a light sunburn, as this was an on-the-beach project) and also there was an issue with the lower part of the cup, as the needle would hardly fit in, but still I think the result is quite satisfying.
For the time being, the embroidered cup works as a pencil holder on my book case.

Have a nice & creative week!

Summer Craft Marathon 2018 - Week #5

Yeap, I did it again: I've skipped a week; while on holiday priorities do change - pardon me Anna from In My Closet. But I am here for week #5, disciplined and agile!

Two years ago, during our first #summerinmyc crafts marathon, we had loved the idea of creating our own greeting cards and we had so much fun playing with colors and materials and textures.
This year Anna repeats the task and I could not miss it. Still on holiday though and away from home; this means a lack of materials and textures - but not a lack of colors: my faithful tiny watercolor kit is always in my backpack, and therefore I was able to create a watercolor postacard.
For the card's theme, I got inspired by the haystack fields, the ochre-yellow hues of which are so warm and summery and will always bring the vacation mood on.
I hope this will work for the card recipient as well!

Cheers to summer nights, to summer days, to summer colors, to summer flavors, to summer sounds!

Have a nice & creative weekend!

Kat.

Watercolor owl

Today was all about colors. A visit to a hobby store this morning and the fact that I’ve spent at least an hour gazing at the oil and acrylic colors stand only, made me realize that I hadn’t painted for quite a long time.
And just like that, I ended up mixing colors all afternoon!

I got inspired by a barn owl photo I found on my desktop – how cute is this little creature? – and this is what my watercolor owl finally looks like. 

Hope you like it (I do)!

Have a lovely weekend and, of course...

Keep smiling!

Kat.
