Happier Endings

This watercolour fruit design I abandoned midway, thinking I had spoiled it. Today I pulled it out again and re-worked it and I'm happy with the result.


This red tree I also re-worked, deepening the red and green, and by making the flowers more decorative, then finally pasted it in my journal over red crepe paper.


I love happy endings!

  1. Yes! I like both of them. I am working on a fabric fruit and veggie bowl as we speak! Well, I was, I came here to take a short break from sewing...going back to it now. Enjoy Sunday.

  3. Beautiful! I like the use of black you've started using lately. I was going to say especially with the fruit - but you know the black and red one with the tree is gorgeous too. Reminds me of my antique Chinese furniture sitting in storage!

  5. I like both a lot especially noticing how you use the patterns to fill in solid areas. You didn't spoil it AT ALL! Much love, O
