Partygirls

I always was interested in redwork and stitchery designs. Although I found it difficult to realize a line drawing in a style I like.

Sometime ago I scribbled these two girls in an old book and yesterday thought they might make a nice stitchery pattern.


So here they are!


Let's party!!! Have a great weekend!

Metamorphosis

This is a pretty weird still life!

I think I overrated my skills a little too much with this project!
Well, I can blame it on the very cheap oilpaints from an 1-Euro store. Nobody would have been able to paint with these. They were more oil than paint actually.


So now I overpainted the vase and transformed it to this.



More interesting to look at.
I better don't tell that I painted acrylic paints over oil here and sealed it with something like mod podge in the end.
Maybe it will show cracks one day, maybe not. It's looking ok at the moment.
The oil paint was well dried for about a year or so.
