I usually drink a lot of coffe but no, I didn`t drop it accidentally,
on this piece! This idea came from my doll making period were I
leaned that one can make the fabrics older by dyeing with coffe
or tea, so I was working on this piece on a loosen fabric, I drew
with pencil a face then I stiched around some lines and loved it...
I wanted to add more color but wanted to keep it simple and I
don`t know why I though of coffe so I grabed some brushes and
started to paint with instant coffe! Am I crazy already?
I love it, the smell is wonderful and it had an ethereal look I
didn`t want to ruin it but I wanted to add color in the cheeks and
this morning I added them with some beautiful watercolor
pencils and voila! She has color but in a soft way!
I am working with a very simple stiching machine, and I am
impressed by all I can do with it, I have seen very impresive
machines and how technology has advance this days and of
course I would love one but creativity has no limits nor my
desire to learn so I work with what I have and make the best
out of it! If I believe, it`s possible!
So, would you like a cup of coffe? :)
Oh yes, I would like a cup of coffe!
ReplyDeleteYour drawing and stitching is amazing, I'd like to try doing something similar. I love to tea dye fabric. I do it on al my stitcheries.
