Angry birds - Applique work on pillow Cover

angry birds..yayyy !!
Applique is the method of stitching tiny pieces of colored cloth over another layer of cloth.The word Applique comes from the french word "appliquer" which means to "put on".
My brother's unused t-shirts are now worn by pillows and oh..the plain black T looked like a crow for me....So planned to give it some colors and got this angry birds fever.....
The blue little birdy is done...and the pig King Pig is on the way in my next post !!

handmade blockprints

this is my new try in making printable stamp designs !!
I used the same "go - green" concept of using packing thermocol for every art i make now !!Using acrylic colors in these stamps we can make very beautiful designs within a minute....& also it is easy to draw similar pattern bases for embroidery...

my prints will be shown in the next post ....keep watching !!
