I Started With A Plan. . .


Working LOOSELY from this drawing and making use of leftovers from previous work, I started a new stripey piece. Most of it is my hand dyed cottons, but there are some Kona and Classic Cottons from Joann's mixed in. Whatever works.
At this point it measures about 75" long and about 19" wide, and of course I will be adding more to the width.


Here's a closer look at the top half and then the bottom half. I may have left out a bit of the middle. It's hard to photograph a long skinny piece.
I am entertaining names, like Jelly Beans, Cotton Candy, Juicy Fruits or some such title. Maybe I am just hungry?

PS. And the name is:   My Favorite Crayons

  11. It reminds me of Fruit roll ups. Especially the sticker ones that they showed on TV a few years ago.

  15. Crayola! That's the name :-) The little blocks between make it so interesting.

  16. What about calling it Candy Cravings since all the titles seem to be of actual candies. It is very yummy looking.
