Machine Embroidered Doodle Art

Ive always been a doodler of epic proportions, im not very good at keeping still and doodling lets me fidget without loosing my focus for some reason! So i knew a doodle had to be included on the picture wall :)

Originally it was just a black and white doodle as thats whats my doodles normally look like but it stood out for the wrong reasons - being too plain. So i knew it needed an injection of colour

So, inspired by the woodland for my origami foxes, i decided to do some free hand machine embroidery on the paper. The embroidery is very rustic and irregular as i wanted to keep the doodle theme going but i do love how its turned out, the colour has really elevated it to another level :)

Geometric Stamped Animals

I know i already have some stamped animals for the picture wall but when i saw this post by How About Orange i just fell in love with the super cute geometric animals and had to include them. That squirrel just slays me everytime and as for that lioness, well shes just too cute for words! Ive tried to tie in the colours to the whole wall again but keep it from being to similar to the finger print animals but this is definitely one of my favourites on the wall :)

Origami Foxes and Machine Embroidery Woodland

When i saw this post by How About Orange i knew i needed some origami foxes in my life! The post comes with a free printable background but i knew i wanted something different. So i decided to free hand machine embroider the background woodland scene. I really like how its turned out but i might change the frame its in, its squishing everything too much, but thats a job for the future!

Finger Print Animals

I have already done a version of this bit of art (see this post) but i wanted to make a new one so it could be included in the picture wall. I tried to tie the colours in with what else is on the wall without being too matchy matchy. And that little piggys curly tail just makes me smile every time!

Sukie Iron On Art

I bought this book ages ago and while i have used some of the iron ons i must admit it did get forgotten for a while, so i decided to frame some of my favourites for the picture wall

I ironed the images i liked onto white fabric and carefully peeled back the backing paper

I repeated it with the other images and then framed the fabric

Isnt the cat on the scooter just amazing!

The picture didnt quite pop how i wanted it to so i painted the mount gold to give it a bit more depth. I might repaint the frame too, maybe a pale grey, but im happy with it for now, and i love that ive been able to use my iron on book again!

Origami Bird Papercut

I have been lusting after this gorgeous origami bird papercut by SarahLouiseMatthews on Etsy for months and months and i finally got round to buying it last month. I mounted it over some orange card to make the birds really pop and snapped this quick picture before i hung it. ...Ive actually not got round to hanging it yet, im hoping posting about it will motivate me to finally put it up as its too gorgeous to hide away!

Mouse Trap Clip Frames

When i saw these genuis blackboard painted mouse trap clips from U create i couldnt resist making my own.



Arent they just adorable!

DIY polaroid

I love polaroids, i always have, but theyre just not practical in this day and age. But i thought id make some little borders for regular photos and turn them into polaroids. I know that i can instagram and photoshop them to make them look like polaroids, but the thickness of polaroids is one of the things i love the most. So by adding a border ive hopefully come a bit closer to recreating them

(the photo is of my dads homemade bread - it the best thing in the world!)
I used shiny photo paper and cut the frame out according to the polaroid dimensions, glued the photo on the bag and added a little note - job done!
