PIP~ART !

What is she on about ??? Well that is what your thinking isn't it. Has another two week gap then titles the next post as PipArt.

First to address the gap .... Last weekend spent Saturday in London shopping with the girls, Z, C & M... Although being us this meant spending the afternoon in the pub. Oooppss. Yes we did get some shopping done. I bought just the right charms to complete my Tea Party piece of work. Sunday was busy as DH had had 'man-flu' since Friday so was recovering on the sofa. Hence no posts...

This week was so busy at work until Friday when I appeared to have picked up the same cold. Yukky. =( I worked at home for the day. Which was great. Had lots of docs to read anyway.

But being at home meant that I watched the first few episodes of the second season of Quilting Arts TV while eating lunch. The DVD arrived during the week. Pokey showed a technique based on pop-art to make art quilts of your pets. Not being 100% well this seemed fun. So once 5pm hit, I made a start. As I was making the quilts about our cat Pippi, its called PipArt.

The method Pokey showed was to cut an image of your pet from a photo and play with it in a photo package. Mostly I have changed the red green & blue colour balance on mine. Next you add it to a fabric back ground. I then added LOTs of embellishments. On the first above I have also written about Pip. Sorry the photo too small for you to read this.

The second I loved that she looked like she was looking at something so I added the bee and made a story out of it. Finally I made a tag to go with them. The flying cat is on both quilts so made this Pip logo. The stamper comes from ArtGirls range.

Meanwhile DH says that the PipArt is OK. Not some of my best and not my normal standard.....
