First Weekend Back to School - Avoiding Homework

Serious procrastination today ... finished my magnets instead (complete with itty-bitty bunhead image transfers)! And here are some plush owls I've been working on (experimenting with hand-embroidery and the use of vintage fabrics); my mum and gram helped me stuff them and sew them shut over the holidays. Huge thanks to them both! ;)

Image Transfer Experimentation

Thanks Kelly ( http://subconsciousmeanderings.blogspot.com/ )! For showing me how to do this. For some reason this process has long mystified me but it turned out to be pretty easy (and very fun!).

I can't post the other image transfer pieces until after Christmas, but here is my test one, with my logo. In my excitement I put my image on sideways, leaving an awkward bit of negative space on the side. Fortunately Kelly had the genius idea to add a speech bubble! I think it's cute :)

Oh! Yes, there are sparkles on it. I was in Aboveground the other day and picked up some new glitter acrylic gouache (made by Turner). It's a bit addictive. I have to resist putting sparkles on everything now.
