The assignment this week was to doodle on paper and transfer the design(s) to tissue paper. Then we pinned the tissue paper to fabric and embroidered the design. When you all done stitching, you rip away the paper and Volia!

I started with two different doodles. The first one I did with marker and the second with india ink.I took elements from both and traced them onto the tissue paper.

The designs had a dog and bunny look to them and I smiled when I saw this piece of fabric I had that has dogs and bunnies all over it. ~ I had to use it as the canvas.

The design kind of looked like a mat to me so I sewed in one of my recent doodle paintings. I finished the edges with the quilt binding I used in my journal class and backed it with prequilted fabric.

I love how it turned out and here it is hanging in my office.
Here is Melanie's wonderful design! She stitched hers on a block of wool and used a blanket stitch around to finish it.
I cannot wait to see what we do in week 2!
That's a great project Melissa! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE the one on purple. This is a fabulous piece!!
ReplyDeleteYou are always coming up with great ideas. You are so diverse. I am so glad to have met you.
They are both great! Your fabric choice is perfect for your doodles!
ReplyDeleteSo, I cannot for the life of me find that recipe I was going to email you for dog treats. I'm kind of upset, since I used to make it all the time...I think I lost it in our move last year. Anyways, I got a whole recipe book for dog treats this Christmas, once I test some out, I'll send you some of my favorites.
Happy Monday!
Well these are just simply amazing. I haven't hand embroidered in years, tried 3 weeks ago to do just some cherry stems and it was a disaster.
ReplyDeleteBoth designs are just awesome! I love how you are always challenging yourself to come up with something fresh and new! You GO girls! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are both too cute! I'm going to have to try this, what a fun project.
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa! What a CUTE doodle you did! You and Melissa are so creative!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that a picture of Emmy-pants on your bulletin board! The close-up one where he looks like he is SMILING!!
So much fun, Melissa! Are you embroidering by hand, or did you use your sewing machine?
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh - this is waaaaaay more than a doodle class - how beautiful! I would get the doodle part down okay and then have to leave - LOL!
ReplyDeleteoooo, i love it!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea!!
ReplyDeleteThey both turned out beautifully.

OH! So pretty and fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your piece - I think this is a great class, and you're probably doing really well in it!
ReplyDeleteI love both doodle pieces. Sounds like a really great class with lots of fun things ahead of you.
ReplyDeleteThat is some pretty neat doodling! Did you hand-stitch that?
ReplyDeleteIn the summer, the sun will set at about 10pm -- we are farther south than most of Alaska so we don't have the 24 hours of daylight that people here about.
Those are cute
ReplyDeleteVery nice girl!
ReplyDeleteOh, to just have the time to try to do this - it looks like so much fun. ONe more think to add to my wish list of fun things to do.
ReplyDeleteOMG that is a great idea. That is so cool. That class is really neat. Great job, the both of you.
