Today was beautiful, partly cloudy, breezy and a little humid. A fine day for a walk. Who knew that Brooklyn was such a great place to grow roses. These photos were taken on my walk...
And the sweet smell of roses accompanied me all the way. I think most of the yards have rose bushes and they are all in bloom!!!
I did get a watercolor case made. It's similar to the doodle case but a bit larger. The only thing I would do differently is to shorten up the bottom. If I can figure out how and still have it looking nice, I still may.
The fabric was plain cotton, unlike the tapestry in yesterday's doodle case, so I used two layers of low loft batting to give the case more substance. Here's the front...
And the back...
The closure is different. I made a loop in the front for the ribbon to go through to keep the case closed.
And here's the inside...
There are pockets for the watercolor pad, brushes, a spray bottle for extra water and the watercolors case which is an inch plus thick. Making the pocket for the watercolors case was interesting but I finally figured it out. Because of it's thickness, I had to have a spine of sorts and that's where the extra brushes wound up.
The next case I want to make is for my colored pencils. That one will take a bit longer because I think I will make individual pockets for each pencil. I have a bit of a plan in mind but will have to work on it some more.
I hope your day was great...
Thanks for visiting...
Talk to you tomorrow...
