For my birthday last year, Alex bought me paint brushes, paint & canvases and I have been busy learning the best way to use the paints (adding water to not make it so thick and easier to spread across the canvas has been one trick I've figured out).
Here are a few of my paintings so far. Thinking of picking up a class somewhere to learn the basics.
The eye has been 3 different colors already. Think I may stick with the blue color.
Here is the other one using primary colors...put duct tape down to create the fine lines.
Another hobby I've picked up is sewing! Spent some wonderful time with my grandma in Florida over the holidays and she taught me how to bob a thread (thread a bob...something like that) and sew. We worked on the first pillow together and then I went a second day to do another (all by myself!). They came out pretty great. I think I am going to pick up a decently priced machine at Target to sew a few more things before I invest in an expensive machine.
Here is my first creation! First sewed on ribbon, then stitched on a button, then sewed together the pillow!
Anybody have any requests? :)
