A stitch in time…



 No time to paint last week as I decided to crochet a butterfly and cocoon for Quinn’s 4th birthday. I was lucky I could pick up a paintbrush after five days of picking up and dropping stitches….


Here’s my final double portrait, which I finished in class yesterday. Here, I’ll reprise the other two below.



They all have their merits and distractions! What l leaned was start with a better source material…not a tiny blurry washed out photo!

  1. That cocoon and butterfly is adorable! Quinn must be delighted. I like your dual portrait too. It seems like you take the best of each iteration and bring it to the final. Love the white halos and the modeling. Even with a vague reference, you've got real people there!

  3. ahhh, great crocheting. I like that you did 3 renditions of the subject. And it's true, each has it's merits. But I do like the last one best. The clothes are more subdued, so the faces are more noticeable and the bits of white around them highlight that.

  4. I like the last one better too, a little more movement, a little jazzier too.
