Drawing again and logo!

I AM ALIVE!

So I had intended to do Inktober to get back into drawing and crafts while working from home, but its been unexpectedly more busier at work this year that I haven’t had any time to myself, so I legit only did one LOL. Which was fish.

I may or may not continue with the list anyway at my own pace.

My friend recently got a beautiful blue and orange fighting fish which was the main inspiration for this since it was so pretty. This has been an on and off drawing for the entirety of October hahaha. Just finished this yesterday (20/11/2020). 

On a side note, have been drawing amigurumi concepts on the side. One of them is a strawberry fox plushy which I intend to crochet. I will upload it later. Hopefully with updates.

Also came up with a logo below which I am happy with and using it to stamo my drawings and maybe add into anything I make.

Star scarf

So above is the end result of what I’ve been working on recently. I was asked by a friend to make a pastel purple scarf with a plush star on it. The beanie is just what I added because the head of the mannequin looked so bare, so I wanted to make a matching scarf.

So I started by crocheting some stars. Wanted to see how well it would come out, and if not well, I was going to sew some stars up by looking for some fluffy pastel yellow material. I ended up liking how they turned out so I made a bigger one for the end which you’ll see later.

I changed the wool from the picture before with the stars to this one: Sirdar Snuggly, shade 219. I liked this colour better than the last.

So I ended up with making this scarf with three rows of what you’d call a Blackberry Salad stitch, and then made the body with what you would call a Snapdragon stitch. I got this pattern from here. 

Then once I got halfway, I got excited and attached the stars using safety pins to see how it would look eventually.

Once I was done with the scarf, I then made a beanie to match, so also the snapdragon stitch. Because I’m not used to making beanies it was a lot of trial and error, but I got there. And also made a star beanie to match the scarf. Also tried to put a star pattern in the pom pom. Halfway successful, but I’m happy with it. Lol.

I sewed the stars on with ‘invisible’ thread, which is basically a clear thread. I bought it from Daiso, and last minute added star beads as a button to hold the scarf in place if you wanted to position the plushie. All in all, happy with how it turned out!

Tiger Scarf

Been working on a tiger themed scarf with pockets. Almost done. Just waiting on the wooden buttons to come in. Used the Grille stitch for the body and the Celtic weave for the pockets. Happy with how its turned out so far. May or may not add some tassels on the ends of these.

Took me a while to finish this only because I couldn't figure out the stitches I wanted to use. The most difficult thing about making this scarf in particular was changing the colours because of how often I had to do it. It left a lot of strands that I had to weave in, but worth the finished project for me. I got the grille stitch from a mobile app called crochet stitches which shows a number of various stitches that you could use for your projects.

The Celtic weave was from a site called Meladora's creations. But yeah. I'll definitely post a picture of when it's done with the buttons.

Cheers,

Bean
