Midweek Post

Hi Everybody!

Hope your week is going well. We've had sunny weather here, which means lots of people are using their new found freedom to go out, and not all are being careful. I just hope they come to their senses before everything gets worse again.

I have been busy sewing lots of masks, and have gifted them to elderly neighbours. I heard from a lady in a neighbouring house that so many people are scared to go out without them, and there are none to get at short notice. The apothecaries all have long waiting lists, so I hope my home-made masks will tide them over for the time being. I have been using old tee-shirts and napkins to make them.

For my geometric shapes theme at AJJ I have another bright piece in my fave colours. This was actually the first piece I made, and somehow it slipped down to the bottom of the pile. The A3 page was gessoed, textured with a swirl stamp, and painted with acrylics. The circles were applied with a sponge and then I drew around them with black gelatos. I used gelatos for the zigzag lines and diamonds, too. I sewed around the edges and over the washi tape with white thread but it's not easy to see:

These were the first masks I made for myself. I kept going, and in the meantime I was able to distribute more than 20:

 

And some photos with lots of geometry:

Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
