Ok now we are getting serious and really trying out different designs and seeing if can put together some business idea. CalicoJules the latest but any ideas gratefully received! Also looking for logo ideas - want it something to do with wool / sheep etc as most items going to have some thing woolly!
ANyway not really had as much time as I though I would have but have tried a few things - and failed miserably so got to go back to drawing board for design and finishing but here are the few ideas so far!
 |
| Taken this one apart as didn't like little stripes of hessian at side! |
 |
| Made my own buttons - knitted a curly wurly, wound it round, sewed it onto a piece of calico and attached to self covering button - I love it! |
 |
| Need to adjust way i make it but like the effect of the knitted bit - this is the back |
 |
| This is the front - trying to make cushions that you can use either side for front. |
 |
| Button attached with cord loop |
|

Kinda frustrating as designs not coming out as wanted in terms of how to finish them but good lesson in trying out designs and seeing what works - almost finished another one so will blog that hopefully tomorrow.
Did a little painting but cheated! Got this gorgeous childrens book with black and white illustrations as shown below...
 |
| Plain illustration - gorgeous! |
 |
Illustration after I had watercoloured it - only done it lightly so you may not be able to see but it does look quite nice!
Okay so that's it for today - ps learnt how to put my signature at the end!!! Go figa I learnt sumfink!!! |

Hi like the look of the blog by the way - and i had forgotten you had got that book, but it looks great with the watercolour added - good use of it. Keep up the good work with all your ideas - they are looking mighty fine! x
