April Challenge
Got a little time free this weekend? Here is the April Challenge to get started on.You know I almost never give out the challenge early but this month while skimming the web I found this challenge on another site, which is sadly now defunct. The webpage still exists and I mercilessly ripped off this idea as I loved it so much. Since I got to get started on it so early I thought it only fair that you all should get it too. I promise I will go back and finish this month’s challenge shortly as it is a cool project only partially done on the wall
It’s spring! Well at least for you all in the northern hemisphere who are not digging our of snow drifts again. Down here in South America I am battening down for winter. But this month’s challenge had to tie in with the new hopes and growth of the year and the seasons.
So here you go. First you need to go to this website which is awesome:
http://www.thisgardenisillegal.com/flower-quiz
There you should take the test to discover what kind of flower you are. Then please depict that result in fabric somehow. Additionally how about using something on the piece that has comes out of the hardware store, the kitchen, the garage, or anyplace else that is industrially created stuff that has nothing to do with soft delightful fabric?
For instance. I discovered I am apparently a daffodil, which is a flower I knew nothing about having grown up in the SW deserts. Now I have researched the heck out of them and love them. They grow here and I can’t wait to get some bulbs and get started with some real ones in pots over the winter.
Also I am madly adding fabric paint to a too bright yellow fabric, ironing on Heat-n-bond to some orange, cutting out petal shapes, deciding on a vase color for a decidedly odd still life arrangement and….well you get the idea. Then I think I will use a threaded nut like I would add to a bolt for the center of my flowers for my industrially made item. (we’ll see-- maybe a pipe cleaner to make an insect on the leaves).
Have fun and let’s see some WIP soon.
