I've wanted to do a crazy quilt for a long time. They're just so colorful and fun. I've decided to make a crazy quilt with a mermaid theme (to match the theme of Kate's nursery) and have painted a few mermaids already. I have three all together that I will make into blocks. This is the biggest one. They're all still works in progress. I always enjoy seeing other artists works in progress and thought it would be fun to show the quilt in parts as I work on it. Kate is due the beginning of March... will I have it done by then? I still have that baby bumper to make at this point as well. Better get busy.
Not having much luck with my scanner give true colors, I used a camera this time. I find though that this paint has a bit of a shimmer that doesn't photo terribly great. So my shading turns into hot spots instead and the face is flattened in the photo. One of these days I'm going to learn how to take good pictures of my art.
