Typography challlenge and bits...

THIS is going to be fun! Since THIS beastie needs a new play rug!

I don't have oodles of time... but I have been wanting to make him a rug that will be useful and fun. What can I say? You just can't take the artist/teacher out of work and fun mode! I would love to make it more complicated with little animals and things but I am going to make it basic with room to add on cards and actually fabric dice... ok, well here is the start idea!

Front and back. I am free hand drawing the letters and numbers so it is going to be uneven and more appealing- ha, we will see! Left over scraps and bits- I have to use up more from my stash. (What is with the scraps? I think they breed when you don't look) I am also using interfusable facing to give some support to the letters- I want to try a really 'scrappy' quilted letter look. I just hope it wont be too busy! Can only try! Also the interfacing makes a good template.

Some of the plain fabrics....

 

Some of the pattern fabrics....

Spent today wonering around Berlin with my brother who is visiting. I love looking at the small things in the city.... Isn't it fun what you can see when you only look?

 Some typography, texture, colour and image. Hmmm.
