Two Studies

I guess it's really time to get with it in applying for grad school. I'm excited but so nervous taking this next crazy step. I can do it! My plan is to finish my statement of purpose & will allow someone to proof read this week... maybe. As y'all know I am not a huge fan of writing, but it's something I must do. I can't believe December got here so fast.

 

On a brighter note I am just about caught up in my blog. I'm pretty happy about being up to date. It took a while but here we are. "Looks like we made it, look how far we've come my baby..." Woo! This next post is for the two studies I worked on in September/October. One is framed and other I didn't frame. I don't know if I want try something different hanging it. So for the time being, it is done.

Baby Blankets & Summer Sketches

It's been a while but I have been painting my face off and my usual anxious procrastination for finishing a piece. I will hopefully be able to take some good pictures soon. It's in the clearing process. Today it actually looks more murky than when I finished it Monday night. Oh well, I just need it to look decent in a week or so for application pics. Today's post is not about painting but mostly the things I did in the summer, which consisted mostly of baby blanket making, maybe a couple sketches, and pool cleaning blah.

 

I am going to highlight my baby blankets in this post. I made two this summer for two really awesome mamas. I make them all by hand. I sketch out the images from one of the themes they've chosen. In these works the first theme is The Fox & the Hound and the second is Finding Nemo. Each blanket takes me about a month to make since having a full time job cuts into my work haha. I did get them done, though. So, now you get to see what I made!

Gato is definitely bored with me.

 

 

 

 

Wren name sketches. I embroidered her name on the back of the blanket.

I'm pretty sure I have other small drawings but I must not have them uploaded. Oh well, here are the only two I could find.
