Arts & Crafts

I broke away from my spinning and knitting and explored some other arts today.

I made:
- 9 sets of magnets.
- 1 stuffed bunny
- 3 watercolor paintings
- 1 acrylic painting


I found a pretty bouquet of flowers in a magazine, so I made a set of large acrylic magnets out of the photo. Each magnet is an inch wide.


I made 6 sets of watercolor magnets from another photo in a magazine. All the sets have slightly different designs, but this one is my favorite. The watercolors are lime green and baby blue. Each set has two large acrylic magnets and nine small acrylic magnets. The large magnets are an inch wide, and the small magnets are 3/4 inch wide.


I made two sets of retro lime green/brown magnets from a cool magazine photo. Can you find the bunny, dragonfly, deer, and fork with a heart? Each magnet is 3/4 inch wide.




Here's a watercolor painting of a sheep. It is 9 inches by 12 inches.


Pistachio muffins are my favorite, so I painted a happy watercolor one. It is 9 inches by 12 inches.


A wooly bunny watercolor painting. It is 9 inches by 12 inches.


Here's a heart painting I made with acrylic paints on watercolor paper. It is 9 inches by 12 inches.


My first stuffed animal: Frankenbun. It is sewed to a cloud of clean, uncarded wool and it has wool wings. I stuffed it with beans. Frankenbun is 7 inches from base to the tip of it's ears.
