fashion illustrated – project blogway revived
Nadia of Nadia’s Crafting Adventures and I occasionally conspire to make trades – originally we made each other mixed CDs. Later on we planned on making each other coats – Project Blogway – which was a bit too ambitious given our complicated lives and never ended up going anywhere.
Now we have decided to revive Project Blogway – she has some black yarn purchased especially for me and is making a cardigan with 3/4 length sleeves, and I am creating a watercolour portrait especially for her. You can see her progress – sleeves!
For my part, I have developed the pencil drawing for her illustration, based on this favourite outfit of hers. Apparently the illustration is almost perfect but the figure is not pear-shaped enough. =)
I will post the final painting soon, even more pear-ish, and this time Project Blogway will be properly concluded with an exchange of cross-continental packages.

This is it as it is exactly – no photoshoppery this time – and yes her legs really are twice as big as her arms. Its on a 7″x10″ Arches watercolour paper. Stand by Nadia because this is getting mailed to you. [...]
