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!!

Safety First

Drawing # 20

Graphite Pencil and Watercolor

Still on the sewing theme...what would we do without safety pins? I have had these for years and still use them at times.  I thought I'd use graphite pencil instead of pen for this one, it is a softer look and I quite like it for a change! Paintings are coming along...a bit of multitasking going on, I have a newsletter to put together too!

Boquet of Pins

6"x6" Oil on board

I haven't posted for a few days because I have had family here on holiday, but I've managed to get this one in.  These pins have been sitting in this thimble for a while... I love the little bit of color with the greys and the shadow patterns... another one for my thread series!

Sew Ready

6"x6" Oil on board

SOLD
 

Back to the threads again! I still have  more of these thread ones in mind as well as pins, scissors, buttons...the list is endless.  For a number of years I spent a lot of time sewing and  every now and again I love to set some up to paint...it's like a trip down memory lane!
