Week Six: New Year's Celebration

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and if you're like me the Christmas celebrations are still ongoing! I hope all of your celebrations are wonderful.

This week's project is in honour of the next special day we're all heading towards at a rapid rate, which of course is the New Year!

To welcome in 2013 I went for a cityscape with fireworks

 

I went for nice bright colours to make the fireworks nice and celebrate-y

 

 

So, I wish you all a Happy New Year and hope you have a great time celebrating the beginning of 2013! See you next year/week for a project that might flutterby...

A belated week 3: 3D Gnome!

So, as you may have read in my week 4 post, this post was intentionally not shared until now because I wanted to give this quilled item to someone on Christmas day, and I didn't want her to see it until then. So, now that she has him in her possession, I can happily share pictures of him with you all!

He's a happy little Gnome!

He's so tiny he's only just taller than the grass! His pointy little hat helps him to stand out though. I told his owner to make sure she doesn't add him to her outdoor collection, he's a bit to delicate for the work of a regular gnome. Maybe he can guard her desk?

I love his curly beard, and the thoughtful look on his face. I don't know if gnomes normally have pointy ears, but I thought maybe he could be a gnome-elf hybrid for the sake of Christmas.

He was worth the wait, wasn't he? Next week, we are going to see fireworks to celebrate New Years!

Merry Christmas everyone :)

Week Five: Nativity Scene

A day late, I know. I'm flakey. Let's move on.

This week's is short, sweet and simple, and is in theme for this week's coming special day.

It's simple but I think it does the trick. I added extra stars with a gold pen as I didn't want other quilled stars to complicate the scene.

 

I think the minimalist imagery is appropriate, a more detailed depiction of the scene would need to be done on a much larger scale to be done well.

 



I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, I hope you have a lovely week. Next week's project will celebrate the New year!
