Stitched Mushrooms

Hello friends...

I hope your weekend is off to a good start...

My card today is another one I sketched and painted giving the mushrooms a stitched look

The only thing I didn't sketch here was the little bird... I found that stamp on a very old set that came free with a magazine years ago and he was just right for this sketch


  The watercolour paint is Prima but the gold sparkle paint is by DecoArt... I like their metallics 

I've been working on a whimsical logo for a new business a family member is starting. I'm happy to say she was really pleased with the result and maybe I can share that sometime in the future once the printing is finished. It's not something I would normally take on but seeing as how she was made redundant after lockdown plus she loves my sketches... I was only too happy to help.

I have another new mushroom one still to share but I'll save it till the upcoming week.

 

Stay safe and well

You've made a beautiful sketch with those stitched mushrooms Ros. It almost looks if the little bird is made for your sketch :)

Great combination of sketching and stamping Ros x. I like the heart shaped leaves which frame those adorable stitched mushrooms to perfection x.

Another beautiful whimsical painting Ros! It's all in the details, that makes yours paintings so special. The stitched mushrooms, the heart shaped leafy vine, the little gold dots, and the little bird, just so perfect! Can't wait to see your whimsical logo your created when the time is right. Enjoy the weekend, much cooler here this weekend, temperatures in the low 70's, normally it's like 90+! Hugs,

Your artwork gets better and better Ros and the colours are so pretty. I adore your stitched mushrooms and the way you have draped the leaves around them is a lovely heart shape, and the little bird finishes it perfectly! x

Well, gosh, the stitching takes this to a whole other level of cuteness. Plus the bird... I love how you sometimes combine stamping with your own art. I've said it before, if your drawings were stamps I'd buy them! I'm certain your friend was delighted with the logo you made for her.

Ros, this might be my favorite so far - have I said that before? Love that little bird! She looks so pleased, and proud of her decorating/floral arranging skills... oh. she must have done the stitching, too!
Just precious!

Your stitched mushrooms are perfect, Ros! Your doodling is impeccable! I love the graceful leaves that almost form a heart! Sweet little bird too!

What a fabulous image Ros! Love the leafy wreath and how the stones and flowers give depth. You are a very talented lady and I look forward to seeing the finished logo.
Hope you are safe and well.

WOW! This looks like a stamp! You should start designing for a stamp company! Can't wait to see the logo and your other mushroom card!

Greta said...

Love the addition of the stitching & the little stamped bird! Such a sweet painting, Ros! How exciting to have designed a business logo & hope you can share it! Stay well, my friend!

Loll said...

Sweet! I LOVE those stitched mushroom and the heart shaped leafy vine. You always come up with the most amazing designs Ros. Hope you will share the logo once the company is up and running. xx

When I first read "stitched mushrooms" I thought you had taken on embroidery on top of everything else you already do! Love the cards - and am also looking forward to seeing that logo once it's possible.
