two tone flower manicure!

two tone flower manicure!

really simple nail art. i used the floral french manicure tutorial from copy that, copy cat. this required that i get over myself and open up the set of super cheapo acrylic paints i bought. i mixed up a purple and used it along with white to create the side of purple petals on each nail. i laid those flowers down over a base of essie sand tropez (scored for 3.99 at a closeout store) and used my widest and flattest nail art brush. i used the tip of a tapestry needle to do the dots. on the nails that look good? it looks GOOD, on the others, well... better luck, next time me!

i really really need to get off my arse and use a real camera. i've made a chunk of progress but i just. i don't know. i feel like this is a swing and a miss. it is very odd translating into stitches, the ease of strokes on a paper. we'll see, i suppose when i finish! someday!

well.

attempting to stitch one of my drawings, drawn straight onto the fabric with pencil. i plan to use anywhere from one to six strands, to imitate the varying widths of marker lines. do not have high hopes, but i have to try!
