Make a (not surgical) mask
Photos and written instructions for making a reusable, washable and comfortable mask with 2 (or 3) layers of close-weaved cotton material – takes about an hour with practise.
That looks like real life (iPad sketches, botanics Dundee)
African an water lilies and the flower that inspired some barbie movie themes, I shouldn’t wonder!
Marvel – Jean Grey new 52 costume
Can I make a comfortable practical marvel costume (cos-play) from a drawing, making my own patterns and sewing from scratch? Turns out I can. I wore this too – slightly taller and thinner than the original model. Elasticated trousers under a feature top (yellow/black trim) and a separate jacket designed to be above the elbow. Yellow criss cross about hands and ankles – every detail from the Jean Gray 1952 (? so I’m told)
Half way through a pottery painting
Painting a plate with pottery paint is interesting because on firing the paints liven into bold colours. These are the first attempts to put some iPad drawings onto clay goods.
My very own tree design on a batwing
Turns out hubby thought of the tree/diagonal division design but I drew it up and did the batwing sleeves. The most comfortable jumper I ever wore. Close on the wrists but loose and big around the armpits. I’ve worn it out and am working on another.
Feudal jumper – knitting project
This jumper is one from a pattern – created by another (so long ago that I don’t have a record). I did change the colour scheme of the big flowers so the blue and red interchange.
Bag and artist’s hat – Scottish colours
Had a pattern for a bag in Scottish moorland colours, so did this in a round in 6 sections for a laugh and a tam–0-shanter. The seaweed effect worked – for an artist’s hat!
Amazon horse and rider
As a teenager working with clay I made a couple of horses – this, the most ambitious is a Boudica figurine mounted bareback on a robust horse. Fight on, ladies.
Green glaze – to horse
My first horse and green glazed and it did not collapse in the kiln. A quiet studio for it to dry in was essential. One ear missing now.
