My first attempt for amigurumi

With the leftover yarn from my daughter's little purse I made a teddy bear.I did not fallow any pattern because I am not very good at that.I just fallowed my intuition and it turned out pretty good.I had fun creating the face but the hardest part for me was to figure out how to make the paws.I tried a couple of ideas that did not work and ended making them one at a time and sewing them to the body.

My daughter loves it and plays with it very often.

It is about 10 inch tall.

Colors

Fiber art-a purse for a little girl

I made this little purse for my daughter .After she saw the purse I had made for myself she wanted me to make one for her.She loves it and she brings it with whenever we go shopping together although she has tons of store-bought purses.

Signs of fall

Three new sketches

My goal was to achieve flat, two dimensional images with cartoonish or illustrative qualities.Ink pen and watercolor pencils on paper,size 4x6.

Just a beautiful day

Three new sketches

For the first two ones I used a couple of pictures from the British edition of Country Living magazine as reference photos.For the cow I used my own reference photo.
In the first two I used watercolor crayons and ink in the third one watercolor pencils and ink.The size is about 6x9.

Some treats for my creative soul

On Monday,Labor day,we went shopping to La Cross,WI.I got

myself some treats-two delicious magazines- Artful Blogging and my favourite at the moment-Country Living,the British edition. You can find the last one only at Barns and Noble.From Hobby Lobby I got the watercolor crayons and the ink pens Millennium.

In the next picture you can see my daughter's treat,a new Moxie girl doll.There is always something new on the market!

Personal achievement

I had a personal celebration a couple of days ago.My bike speedometer read 1000 miles.I have been riding a bike on regular basis for two years already.Last year I achieved 527 miles ,this year I am shooting for 700.I hope I will be able to achieve my goal till the end of the biking season.

An Old Sketch

Here you can see an old sketch from an old journal.Again this is my daughter watching TV and eating in front of it.She still has this bad habit.
It is ink pen with watercolor pencils.

The surprise package

One of the most exciting presents my daughter got for her birthday was the surprise package.I got the idea from www.sandrajuto.com . She got it from somebody else/Gina/.Anyway thank you, guys,for the idea.My daughter just loved it and her friends enjoyed watching her opening it.She said she hoped she would get more of those.
I called it Surprise Package because I could not achieve the perfect shape of Gina's Surprise Ball.Maybe the next time I have to try with a different paper.
