In the red

🔴 HI SUGARS! BEGONIAS INSPIRE JOY AND UNDER A RED SHADOW YOU CAN GET A STUNNING WORK LIKE THIS BY SHARI.

Shari Blaukopf's Sketchbook

I was out sketching with my friend Joni on the weekend. She chose our sketching spot at La Croissanterie Figaro because of the red umbrellas. Of course she didn’t realize, and neither did I until we sat down, that having a giant canopy of red umbrellas overhead would make it really hard to see the colour in our sketchbooks. I’ve included photos of both of us so you could see what the colour is like under the umbrellas, and also how beautiful the begonias are, which is why we both sketched them! Many thanks to the folks at the café who let us sketch for a good long time without pushing us out to welcome the Sunday brunch crowd.

Scarves

🎨✂️ WELL SISTERS! WE CAN’T WEAR A CANVAS, BUT WITH THESE GREAT WORKS, WE CAN MAKE A SARONG OR A SKIRT.

Leaps and Bounds Scarf by Tiffany Arp Daleo
https://www.redbubble.com/i/scarf/Leaps-and-Bounds-by-tiffanyarpdaleo/45409514.B15PI

I wore a scarf featuring my painting “Leaps and Bounds” to my art show opening the other night, (post about that coming soon!) and everyone was oohing and ahhing over it! I promised I would post links to my Redbubble site, so here you go!

The scarves are pretty big, 55″ x 55″, big enough to make into a sarong or a skirt, and I have to say I was really impressed with the quality of the fabric which is a microfiber polyester, it’s really light and soft. The prices are very affordable, and I think they make great gifts, so stock up, take advantage of the discount when you buy more than one! 😉🙏

The spring coat I haven’t made yet: BurdaStyle 03/2010 #101

🌳 HI SISTERS, NATURE INSPIRES ALL SORT OF ART (OAK LEAVES) AND THIS PIECE IS USEFUL FOR NEXT AUTUMN TOO.

He Cooks... She Sews!

This was the final pattern I auditioned this summer for the beautiful yellow roses fabric. And it’s a winner.

https://burdastyle.ru/vikroyki/palto/palto-burda-2010-3-101-b/ Yes the Russian Burda site – its the absolute best for BurdaStyle archives

So. Why haven’t I actually made it up? Well. Timing. March seemed the wrong time to make a spring coat for an Australian sewist.

But I do very much love my trial version.

I used an African wax print cotton and made the pattern 5 cm longer than the jacket length (style #102, not shown in the line drawing) but with the coat length 3/4 length sleeves. The largest size is 44 so I drafted out to a size 46. A size 44 probably would’ve been fine

No lining, no interfacing.

Of course I absolutely adore it anyway!

It is the absolute best to wear with a wide and oddly shaped long dress (can you…

My First Fashion Show

🖌️🖍️🧵SO TRUE SISTERS. AFTER SKETCHING YOU CAN DISCOVER A TRUE UNIVERSE.

Artistcoveries

Project Runway… here I come!

Only kidding, of course. But I did think a lot about the television show as I was putting together this “first fashion show”, and don’t say I didn’t warn you that there would be shows coming up.

I am loving my little foray into the fashion world. I love drawing fashions. I love learning about fashions. I love thinking about textiles and trims and accessories. And I’m actually getting much better now at drawing my own croquis.

This “fashion show” project came about recently when I began reviewing fashion trends over the last one hundred and twenty years. Yes, going all the way back to the 1900’s and noting how women’s fashions changed from decade to decade. I had so much fun with all I was reading about that I had to turn my notes into sketches and dress up a few models.

HI SISTERS! IN ADDITION TO OTHER REASONS, THE ART OF VIETNAM ALWAYS DESERVES TO BE REMEMBERED.

Abstract Mixed Media

💠 SO TRUE, DEARS! ABSTRACTION CAN ALWAYS BE THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL.

Flowing Waters Art

I participated in a free online class over the weekend in Art is Magic where they offer a year long mixed media course taught by 28 artists. This class was a preview of what is available in the full course.

Jodi Ohl a very talented artist, taught this class. I’ve tried abstract art before, thinking it was easy and it so wasn’t. Not to mention, I never liked what I created and would always just reuse that piece of art in other projects. This is the first abstract I created that I actually like and I’m happy to say it will not be recycled, lol.

Creating this was using new techniques was challenging and quite an adventure. So a BIG thank you to Jodi for making it so much fun!

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead.

Thanks for stopping by!

Share the Happy!!
