Spring tees

Image
All my tees are made with the same pattern - one I traced from a tee I bought from Wal-Mart. I have made regular neck, long sleeve, scoop-neck short sleeves, etc. I have fabric for at least three more... Note: these pictures were all taken on the same door, at the same time. You can see by the different colors of the door how true the color is to real life. The color of the door is "Navajo white" - so that bottom left  shirt in real life has a lot of dark burgundy in it - and no green at all. I wear it with burgundy pants. The other batik tee(upper right) has a lot of green, and I wear it with an avocado-colored pant.

Angel #3

Image
Judy gave me three angels, each with two or three borders. I added more, and this is the result. Another for Children's Advocacy Center about 45"square. Note: the yellow-and-gold squares are all the same fabrics, and thus, should be the same color. The angels also should be identical in color. The true color is somewhere between the first two pictures - bright, but not quite neon. The first picture was taken in my home, in daylight. The second, at  the library under fluorescents.

Paint-by-number

Image
When I was a child, I did several paint-by-numbers - all of them bought from the local dime store, and less than 8 1/2 by 11. I loved doing them more than keeping them. I have recently started another, rather larger(perhaps 16 by 20, which is of a French walk, and which came all the way from China in the mail. The spaces I am meant to paint seem very very small. This seems harder than I remember it. But I am still enjoying the process. The 'bent' streetlight is merely a soft bend in the canvas, and is really straight. Seriously.

Bought 3 new tops on sale from Christopher and Banks Wore this one once - tag says machine wash, so I did - and this happened. But, customer service came through - sent me a postage-paid label to return item. Haven't heard yet what they're going to do about it...
