you won't be the same person

That's what the storm is all about."

"Fear in a child's eyes" (uncoloured)

This sketch really took my heart away. 

I didn't expect it to be like this when i begun sketching. 

This is the image of a child lying down, hiding and crying. 

My idea is that she just saw something really terrifying. 

While i was scetching, my mind kept turning to all these kids who live in terror either because of war or because of family issues or because of something else. All of those kids who are suffering every day living in fear.

So this sketch is what came out of all of these thoughts. 

I don't think i'm going to colour it. I like it better like this.

It's comfortable to walk,

Shades of grey wrist warmers

:-P
I don't think i've made grey wrist warmers before. 

So i made these this time. 

I used the seed stitch again (i really like it) and needles number 3.5

Jade green cowl

This is my brand new cowl. 
The yarn i used for this one is 25% wool and 75% acrylic. 

To make it i used the seed stitch and needles number 10. 

It's really fluffy and warm!!!
What do you think???

In the bath (censored)

I made this a long time ago but i didn't want to upload it 

due to the nudity it contains. 

In the end, i decided to simply censor it. 

I made all this work, 

it would be such a waste to keep it just for myself :-P

Thulian Pink cowl

This cowl was made as a gift for a friend. 

She is the one wearing it in the photo.

I made this using the seed stitch. 

My needles were number 6 

although i could use much bigger needles if i wanted to. 

My yarn was thick enough.

I really like this stitch. 

It makes a very beautiful and fluffy fabric :-)

My friend was testing different ways of wearing her new cowl :-P

Behind the curtains

So, this is the coloured version of the "Behind the curtains". 

Any ideas of what she might be looking at? :-P

"We have to take risks with art. 

If we don't 

it all becomes a bit boring."

Pink candy wrist warmers

This is my first attempt to make moss stitch. 

I used the same number of loops 

as i did for my other wrist warmers 

and i used smaller needles. 

Yet, these wrist warmers become more loose and fluffy 

than the others. 

I guess that's what moss stitch does :-P  

They have a pretty nice texture though.

"Trust isn't a fair weather friend. 

It's about a willingness 

to be vulnerable and exposed."
