fiddleyfingers

As you may or may not have realised, I am in the middle (actually, one step from the end...) of exam season. this has left me with a lot more time on my hands.
wait
what i MEAN to say is that i have been revising every waking minute...

well, obviously i haven't, but what i HAVE been doing is a lot of drawing and painting.
today i got out the sewing machine and decided to try exploring what i could do on the sewing machine.
I started to do this at the beginning of the year, for my a level project, and i wish i'd thought of my final idea sooner so i could have developed it! i have an awful photo of my final piece here.

anyway.
some things i did today:


(today's outfit shot)

(pre interview)
it was pretty hard work and very very slow to do the delicate stuff, but i'll definitely practice hard, and with fabric too, instead of 300g/m² paper...

and some just watercolour stuff:


awesome band- listen here!!!
i ordered their EP and it's great- it came with a hand coloured sleeve (: amazing.

these are amazing.
I especially love that self-portrait..using a sewing machine and watercolour.
And the last one as well. Such control with the watercolour too!

I like drawing pictures with the sewing machine. I love how you have combined it with paper/painting.
