Illustration Friday

Well, here is my next square for the quilt... this one is also for "Illustration Friday" and created around the word 'Legendary'.

I could say it was all my own idea, but I have to give the credit to my cousin Nicola. I had the idea of doing something based around King Arthur or the Knights Templar, but it all got a bit too serious for a child's quilt, so when she said that Nessy was her first idea, but went with a John Lennon image instead, I stole her idea like the rotter I am, and this is what I came up with... Mrs Nessy.

This piece came so much quicker than the last and I feel that I am tuning into my long lost my skills already... come on "Illustration Friday" I am rearing to go again!

Illustration Friday

This piece is for 'Illustration Friday' the brief was 'Intricate' so I thought of a spiders web.

All my pieces will have a childrens' theme to them, as instead of creating work that wont be seen again in a sketchbook or sold off at a market, I am going to sew all the pieces together and the end result will be a quilt cover for my little baby Ruby. The history of quilts always tell a story and mine will be my journey of reawakening.

At least this way I will see my artwork all the time and hopefully it will inspire me to create more and develop my skills.
