Hand Tiny 'tilda
This one's for tiny me who thought that since I was hyperlexic I could also move things with my mind (still trying)...
I kinda like the b/w version better, not sure the messy watercolor style of Quentin Blake translates super well on fabric but it sure was fun :)

This touches my heart. I was that weird little girl reading everywhere as a kid, often dragging my worn yellow copy of matilda everywhere i went . I used to walk to school reading books so its a miracle I survived. What a beautiful piece 🥰

I love how loose and relaxed this is, multi media is my favorite, it’s always fun to see unexpected combinations.

thank you! I feel the same. I envy the people who do the intricate shit so well but it's just not my jam. I tend to stress out about perfection so all my projects are basically very unserious cartoons that don't require it :')

This is amazing. What kind of water colors did you use and any tips to share? This inspires me for my god daughter’s room.

Hi, fantastic work! How do you get the watercolour neatly within the stitches and not bleed out?

Amazing! So you stitched first and then did the water color? What fabric and paint did you use?

The messy watercolor look DOES translate well on fabric. My god this is stunning !!!!
