new fabric work!

As you may have noticed I haven't done anything with fabric in a very long time. Actually haven't really done anything in a long time, but I decided that had to change!
So the first photo is what I decided to do to break the long dry spell.
This is loosely based on me in the process of creating a piece on the design wall..

And here is what I did yesterday...took me roughly 4 hours just to choose fabrics for this! And then what fun all the cutting and fusing, but so worth it as finished work began to emerge :-D
Still quite a bit to do on it, but I'm very happy with how it is coming out.
Oh and I must say that I can't take credit for the IDEA...a fellow member of the fastfridayfabric challenge group did something similar last year for one of the challenges and I knew that someday I wanted to do a version of my own.

here is what I added today, took a long time to make the bunny slippers!
Hoping to show more on this later today...

red shoes

Today I managed to squeeze some time out to do a quick drawing of these red shoes. The inspiration photo came from wet canvas' Weekly Drawing Thread, which I am trying to do each week, no matter what the subject or how difficult it may seem.


I know my shoes are not exactly like the photo, but they shouldn't be right? Everyone's version is a bit different. I also have not been able to do those darn laces yet...lol and my *shine* is wrong, but I am just happy I was able to do the shoes period!
I did these with an HB, a 4B and a red colored pencil
