Business. A Painted Bag
The project described here was created in 2009. So long ago! Now it’s even strange to remember the “big problem” I had during work. But let me start at the beginning. That summer I bought a netbook. It was tiny, with a 10-inch screen. I was so happy that completely forgot to buy...
Two More Cartoons
Let’s go back to what this blog started with – cartoons. Actually I wanted to share my two last creations. “Christmas Tree” got created literally in three days. I already had the intro and the cartoon itself is really short. Probably even shorter...
One More Box Made of Newspaper Tubes
Newspaper Tube Box I made the painting on fabric this box is decorated with a long time ago. It is painted with the same paints as the paintings with embroidery. And finally, I found how I can use this painting. I have woven one more box from newspaper tubes. This one is a bit neater...
Oil Painting
I managed to produce not just one but three paintings. I have realised my dream – went to a six-hour masterclass in oil painting. Not that I wanted to learn painting, but I was rather interested in using a new medium. My first work. The first work is my favourite. I was full of...
A Picture at an Exhibition
Khoma is conducting at an exhibition You have already seen Khoma here. This time I wanted to show him at a social event. He usually occupies one of the top corners of the exhibition stand, controlling everything. And then my Mom brought her cross-stitch embroidery...
Happy Underdog
“And I went along the ledge, face to the wall…” There is a line in the play “Happy Underdog” – “Счастливый неудачник” (in Russian the name has nothing to do with dogs, it’s just funny how it all worked out in...
A Woven Box with a Dinosaur and a Mammoth
Here is one more object woven from a newspaper. Cross stitched decoration on the lid Woven boxes and caskets can be decorated with an embroidery. So if you, just like me, have a lot of embroideries and not enough wall space, this new hobby is right for you. But weaving the lid first...
Newspaper Weaving. First Steps.
A few days before New Year (actually it was before last New Year) I had an urge to start newspaper weaving. I found a couple of projects online and the way of weaving that seemed to me (and still seems) much simpler than ordinary in and out weaving I tried using several years ago. Now I just...
Japanese Landscape.
Unfinished landscape My second attempt at needlepainting on painted fabric. I chose a Japanese landscape with a branch with bright red leaves. I have been studying Japanese for a long time and love everything connected with this country. This time the painting took very little time, I...
Needlepainting Over Painted Canvas.
Sophie returning from town I “invented” this during one of the forum meet-ups. I traditionally organise something for kids to do. This time we were painting with special paints on fabric. For my picture I chose a frame from “When They Cry” with gates leading to a...
