Can't get enough love!
Test layout...facing up.
'Real' layout...with design face-down on resist and pencil-roving grids.
As those of you who are regular readers well know...
...I'm not much of a blues/purples kind of gal. :)
And when I work in these colors...
...I'm always trying to put myself in the mind of someone who is!
This time, I decided to make a love pillow...
...and make it kind of feminine.
I wrote the word 'love' in pencil roving on a couple of wool batts...
...cutting them into equal rectangles, afterward.
I made a pre-felt heart...
...and detailed it with a little pencil roving, too.
Since I like to work 'upside-down'...
...I laid my pieces face down, followed by the pencil roving...
...and ultimately, the pale blue batts that you'll get to see next time.
Happy Halloween, everyone!!!
