Crocheted my first big project. A Granny square Blanket!
Its an 8x6 blanket consisting of all the same background color and three different hearts and borders. A light pink on the outside (border) and a brighter pink/ lavender on the inside. Im finishing up a scalloped purple border and then I’m planning on backing it with cloth! (And advice welcome!)
Spring is in bloom, I started snapping pictures of all the beautiful scenes of spring. The full flush foliage bursting from their pods and stems like winters been too long. Uncurling free as they wind and relax into the heat of the upcoming summer. They make me eager to spring with them and stretch.
Made this Wall piece for my friend. She graduated and is having a party to celebrate!This has been my biggest little project, I made it from scratch!
I sketched my idea out first, a simple thing I thought up at work. I then made the heart plate out of DAS Air Dry Terracotta clay. I love that stuff, and the color is a lovely brown/red when it drys. After 24 hrs I then sanded it up with a couple different grains, and painted the front white. I knew this design was going to do best with a blank white slate. I drew out my design (more refined this time) with pencil and worked from the out in for everything except the scalloped edge on the heart. I did that very last because I found it daunting hahaha. After the long process of painting the design, I was finally able to varnish/seal it. Now I just need to add a wall hanging attachment on the back and itll be good to go!
My friend LOVES Kuromi and My Melody, so I hope she likes it! Fingers crossed
