Sewing type

I've been playing about using a sewing machine to try and create some type. This is my 2nd attempt which actually to me doesn't look that bad. The amount of settings I had to go through though was annoying, but hey it sort of works, maybe the *R* looks a little um... Demented, but on the whole I quite like it. :D

Pinterest and the brave

This a website that I've recently come acroos , and it's just amazing!!! It's basically like a giant online pinboard, where you can post images that inspire you etc. The great thing is that you can follow other pinners who will share their pins, and it can lead you to brand new things, you would have of discoverd before!! Also it saves me from having to save all the images on the computer, and trying to source them at a later date as well.

If you are interested in my board its here, which will probably get updated regular - well it won't if I can stay away from etsy.com

And and and and and ... ( yes I waffle even when I write) I feel like a kid again right now, doesn't the new Pixar film the Brave look worthwhile... Pixar, they haven't let me down yet. :D

The dolly got sewn. Yay.
Yes I will change the typography, its not right.

Jane

This is a character that I've been working on the past couple of days for part of my last project at college!    Its about gender equality, this is based on the idea of this character being a marionette doll, hence her arms are in funny places as this is the version without the strings attached, I shall probably post that when I finish it! Hopefully I will be able to make this into a real puppet over the weekend and a storyboard, and and and.... ( I know I'm setting myself a lot of work for a weekend, maybe a little too much) and I need to sew the design into material but that will be just the outline. Wish me luck-  I'm going to need it on my side, hopefully sod's law won't be too mean :P

Some stuff I've been painting, hopefully looks like some part of the galaxy.  Hope you like it.

London :D

http://www.duitang.com/people/mblog/20197834/detail/  - A tutorial for two hearts !! I found it really cute and it tied into my research a little for my latest project!

Anyway, here is my attempt at this tutorial below... it was a little strange as I don't think I've done cross stitch since I was 7 or 8.
