Button painting tutorial

Progress on Nicki's block......


The fish are done and I've started beading the water in their wake. I loved the wavy seam on the left and I started to echo it on the right... It's great to get a block with so much good work ahead of me...

I had wanted sea-life parades and have a couple more planned as sketched below... Once I pinned it up I immediately saw that a seam treatment I started looks like whiskers on the bottom fish and so will have to be reworked... I'm far enough along that I can set it aside while I get the Faces RR ready to mail...... I tried to keep my fish in proportion with the fish on the lower right. I bought some neon thread and neon paint to use....

  2. That beading is out of this world. I love the way you did the beaded water in the wake of the fish.

  3. I love your fish! I have really been learning a lot about motifs from you! I have even bought felt to try and make some like you do! Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration!
