Progress

In shameless imitation of Didolikali's purchase of a heap of cheap canvases with the intention to just produce work, quality optional (though it seems to me she always gets that anyway). So yeah, cheap canvases, nice bright coloured backgrounds, and go for it. No artsy inhibition, just do it. Good plan, and one well worth copying, so I bought me a little handful of canvases and I'm covering them in calligraphy.

I thought I might take progress photos this time, so here's a base layer for the current quote "some men see things as they are and say why? I dream things that never were and say 'why not?'"

I'm not sure if I'm gonna change the "men" bit. Hm. Changing quotes makes them a misquote. I really like the sentiment. I'll have a think about it.

The base layer seemed very stark, so I've gone over it with a foam brush and some silver gouache. That's a slightly better start I think.

As for knitting progress, I'm a few rows off the armhole shaping for my green jumper. Ah... yay for getting jumpers finished just in time for summer...

I'm totally loving the addition of calligraphy to your bloggy-bag-o-tricks!

Makes me feel artistic by association!
