Mixed bag projects

Yes, I have been doing lots of activities, but apparently I haven't posted them. 
Figure drawing continues on Friday mornings. I'm chuckling as it seems that for 
the final long poses (20 to 40 minutes), the model usually has her back to me. 



As warm-ups we do two minutes poses. Below are examples.


This fabric piece has my hand dyed fabric which is the orange and turquoise, machine stitched on a purchased silk. I then stitched the beads and hand quilted the piece.


This close up may make it easier to see the details.


I'm making adorable dresses for my 3 year twin grandchildren and have begun working on another red, white and blue quilt as a gift to a veteran. I'll post them when I'm done. Of course, there are always zentangles being created as well!

I love your sketches. I actually love doing the view from the back as it has such lovely lines. The little textile piece is gorgeous.

I love mixed bag of work, great sketches (I miss doing figure drawing) and the silk piece is lovely, very colourful.

Figure drawing is such wonderful practice! You are doing nicely.
I always love your fabric art.

Your twin grand children must be adorable.
