Just kidding! Harley is just snoozing while being a good model for my faces of the day! I carved face stamps again and stamped them on a watercolor washed background.

Day 20: sketchy faces

Face of Day 12: hand stitched obsessed

Finally able to post day 12! Things have been crazy... lots of work, and staying @ Harley's (dog featured in Day 11) house, which doesn't have the internet. Plus, Manny left to go back to NYC on friday (wahhhhh!)Basically, Whit= all over the place.

Onwards and artwards onto Day 12...

Day 12: Why?... What?.... How???...

Why

1.  I've grown to ♥ hand sewing/stiching... (as shown in Day 5, 11, 12). I daydream of the endless possibilities of what I can do with embroidery floss & a needle....


2. I  ♥ typography


3. Laziness. I thought it wouldn't take long. So wrong.


4. My desire to change my blog header (thought may end up cool)

What

1. Canvas Pad


2. Pencil to trace


3. Scissor


4. Embroidery Floss


5. Lots of sewing needles

How

The reason I ♥ hand sewing is there is a lot of creative freedom...a.k.a. I totally winged this, ha.
