Everytime I sew a stuffed animal, an object, a wallhanging, a quilt, a skirt or dress; it is a new experience. A challenge I set myself to see if I am capable of pulling it off. All of my art is down directly by hand, no machine sewing. Most of it is created by 'eyeballing', as it was recently phrased, I glance at a few pictures of what I want to make on Google or Pinterest, maybe do a simple pencil sketch (I am not a drawer, this is a minor aid in getting the general idea), and start cutting out the pieces. Every once in a while I will glance at patterns, especially for clothes! Then I will make it my own or try my hand at making a replica just for fun. I am a huge fan of cutting into my work, resweing, reshaping, starting over multiple times. The whole process is my work. This is how I find joy in it. By continuously trying to make it all work out the way I imagine.
Alright, let the pictures speak louder than my words, here are a few examples of what I have made ^_^. :
(Wow! I look so young in these! I got my braces off a long time ago. The corvette and fox are my most recent creations, the rest are in a very random order.)
