Robots Robots everywhere!

Robot quilt I have just made

The Good, bad and the Ugly

I decided in this post I would show all

the sketches that I had done in my journal 

since Christmas. I am learning through books

and YouTube's.

Some I am very happy with, but there are a few

that are ugly! 

Ted The Teddy steampunk (Lord Talbot Brassbearington)

Meet "Lord Talbot Brassbearington"
I made this for last years art show . Then I did not show 

it in here as I was going  to put it in the Just Steampunk 

magazine, but as it is no longer publishing the magazine 

any more, I can show it here.

The teddy pattern is from SVG Stamp ATTIC.

And I gave it a steampunk look .

Inspired by Cyndy G's teddy.

mixed media sp

Drew the girl on water colour card stock and 

Painted it with watercolour pencil, then cut her out. 

I then drew hat and goggles , coloured and cut. 

The background was made first using the gel

press and acrylic paint then lots of home made stencils.

The airship was a die cut.

Owls Owls and Yes OWLS!

Happy new year to you all .

I have been back working on learning things again 

I really want to get good  at the embrilliance 

machine embroidery software.

This week I took a set of owl clip art of the 

internet and spent time on the software turning 

them into sewing designs.

When i started stitching them I thought it would be nice

to add a little fabric as a raw edge applique.

I have got 6 of these to sew and i am not sure if 

it is going to end up to be a bag or a mini quilt .

Steampunk photo (Seattle)

Just starting to go though my camera and 

my many photos . 

Here is a steampunk photo I took of Neal 

when we were steam-less in Seattle.

Then we went up the space needle

We did make the most of having our

costumes and no festival to attend.

Home sweet home

We are now back home.

Had a fantastic five weeks away.

We did arrive back in Tasmania with way

Less luggage than we left Seattle with.

Qantas took most  of the passengers

Luggage off the plane in San Francisco.

Leaving us with only our hand luggage.

They did deliver our luggage late last night

36 hours later.
