A few of my past projects

Here are some pictures of a few of my past projects. I've tried out a bunch of different materials for art projects and crafts of all sorts ranging from concrete to fabric, paper, yarn, cake or painting and drawing. 

 This is a concrete fountain I made with a steel top. It sits in my mom's garden.

 This is a concrete table top I designed, formed and poured. The legs are only temporary. I was thinking more of a black welded frame of some sort for it to sit in.

 This is a 3D piece of artwork that has each butterfly punched out of a magazine page all showing different textures or pictures. I've done a lot of versions of this but this one I decided to keep all in cool tones.

 This is one of my charcoal drawings that I did for a friend of mine who was a huge fan of Arnie!

 This was actually a marker drawing of a picture I pulled from a magazine. 

 Another one of my sketches

 One of my only water colour paintings.

 This is a barn quilt that I helped to create for my mom. It's about 12' x 12' and now is hung on the side of her barn to be seen from the road. The pattern "Carpenter's Wheel" was painted on in different layers. I didn't have a picture of the finished product viewed from the road - sorry.

 Onto my yarn crafts! My grandma taught me the basics of crocheting when I was about 12 and I crocheted about one or two squares then quit. I rediscovered crocheting while I was pregnant and have been hooked ever since. (that was a totally bad unintentional pun). Anyway this is the beginning of the blanket I made for my son (this project is actually complete!).

So this was my very first crocheted baby blanket which took some figuring out and some ripping out here and there but I finished it! A little too girly for a boy blanket so I'll likely gift it.

I'll soon post some pictures of my current projects and ideas, until then,
