Sew Day

Well I decided to sew this vintage 60's dress today since I had a lot of time to work on something.  I like to sew and it challenges my brain.  I do sometimes feel that the juice isn't worth the squeeze, like today.  It really makes me appreciate all that goes into making a garment.  Anyway, after 9-10 hours of work on what I thought would be a cool dress, I ended up with the most homely and plain dress EVER.  Well, I will not be outdone by this dress.  My challenge to myself tomorrow is to make this dress FAB.

I feel that the cheery is my least favorite of all, but here it is anyway.  In person it is a bit darker.

Well, here sits the lime.  I know the fruit is getting a little old but I still have a few more pieces that I want to do before moving on.  Besides, I have 365 days, plenty of time to do all kinds of things.

The strawberry is the fruit du jour (I think I spelled that right).

I am adding an orange to the fruit collection.  I am finding it hard to match the colors of the actual painting to the photograph.  I feel the fruit looks MUCH better in person.

I decided to do a Pink Lady apple as my next piece of fruit.  They are one of my favorites. 

Yo BaNaNa BoY

I have decided to paint some fruit and a bowl over the next few days.  I painted the banana on the reverse side of a piece of plexi-glass.
