I still love painting my cottons and no doubt I will do more when the mood strikes me! I did a graphite and pastel drawing as a study last year, with the thought of painting it later...so here it is!

I like setting up these reels, sometimes it takes nearly as long as it does to paint them...I never realised there are so many different ideas with pins, needles and thimbles!!

Needles and Thread

Drawing #40

Graphite and Gouache

Well I thought I would do a quick drawing today because I was short on time....big mistake!! Even though I took a photo of my bigger needles, enlarged them on my moniter and drew from that, these were not easy. It's  easier to get the shiny look of steel with paint, another good exercise! I can't believe I have done 40 drawings...still a long way to go!
