Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Everywhere!

 I seem to be fixated with pumpkins at the moment! I cannot get enough of them!! I really enjoyed drawing them in my last post, so I decided to create a dedicated book just for pumpkins!

I adore working with textures so chose to use wool/felt and created an appliqué design to cover my book.

The finished design as my pumpkin book cover.

I wanted this book to be filled with what ever medium at the time of drawing/creating I chose to use.  this could be, collage, water paints, acrylic paints, stitch, seriously anything! I really love experimenting so I thought this book would be great for that.

Here is what I have done so far...

Do you have a favourite from what I have created so far? Do you love using a specific medium, and want me to try it? 

I have created something else! Something Halloween fitting, every year I create Christmas ornament/s for my daughter Christmas tree, which I will share in an upcoming post.  But for Halloween this is the first one I have created for my daughter, as she loves Halloween.

My daughter really likes the retro Halloween designs, after doing a little exploring online I created this drawing.  My daughter loved it so I decided to created it in appliqué for her table.

But I got side tracked as she also wanted a pumpkin keyring!

I changed the design slightly when I appliquéd it, turned out really cute and my daughter loves it, it's on her table. Of course as I added the year this also is now expected every year too!

Have you done any Halloween stitching? I did start a Blue Ribbon design,  Behind The Gate, it's going slower than expected as I keep getting side tracked with other things.  Looks like it's going to be for next year now. I love how this design is interactive.

Are you stitching anything for Halloween?

Until next time...
