LONG STITCH SHORT STITCH

I have decided to experiment with some old handicrafts, such as embroidery, weaving, block printing etc.
After some tests, I made this beetle type of thing, using 'long stitch short stitch'.

THE RIVER THAMES AT LOW TIDE

On this beautiful day in November, we found some bones on the bottom of the Thames.
The bones were black when we found them, after some washing and drying they turned brown/green, I really liked them black though.

RUG MADE FROM OLD T-SHIRTS

I am braiding this rug, made from old t-shirts. It's very fun, but extremely time-consuming.

I am looking into colour combinations these days, and I find the proportions and colours of Helen Frankthaler's paintings remarkable. Have a look.

BLUE NUDE BY MATISSE

I really like the simplicity of Matisse's 'Blue Nude' cut-outs, but that blue colour especially is just such a fantastic colour.
