1913, Color Study.

Squares with Concentric Circles

This is not actually a painting but a study in colors Kandinsky made.

It is one of Kandinsky’s most recognizable work.

Kandinsky was a Russian born painter who was one of the first abstract artists.

Wassily Kandinsky’s name is pronounced “Vass-Silly Can-Dense-Key.”

Kandinsky claimed to have been able to “hear colors” and “see sounds.” (WassilyKandinsky.net)

I made my own version of “Concentric Circles.”

After looking at Kandinsky’s Circles and then mine, I realized that circles that are oddly shaped actually look more interesting in this “color study.”

To see how to make your own, watch this video from my home studio:

Super cute letter R appliqué pillow!

What a fun way to make a gift for someone special!

It's the gift to give when you want to give something unique and personal :-).

It is best of you can coordinate with the colors of their bedroom!

First, I sketch some ideas...

I look through my fabric stash to see what I've got that will coordinate with the color scheme.

Then I draw and cut out the letter.

I used the bottom of a toddler dress for the ruffle, so that determined the size of the pillow.

It just needs...more.

So, I parused through Pinterest for some inspiration and came up with this idea of adding flowers and a bird. See my inspiration here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/83551460/freehand-embroidered-bohemian-letters?ref=pr_shop
