Newest Art Endeavor

So generally I stick to my basic art forms, drawing and painting. But recently I've gotten into sewing but haven't made anything too extensive other than a blazer and an adorable turtle pin cushion. Well this previous Saturday my mom, her friend, and I went to the Pacific Northwest Quilt Show and on the way home I got a sudden urge to create. I immediately started searching through my bookmarks to find a previous idea I'd saved and came across this:

I sat down and started sketching my idea and searched through my scraps. I have one huge piece, the sea foam blue/green color I used (it just looks light blue in the picture), that is my absolute FAVORITE color and knew right away I had to use that in my piece. After starting, more ideas came to me. And this is the result! I am soooo excited about this project and can't wait to shoot out so more of them! I already have one design in the waiting :)

And I LOVE those PERFECT buttons my mom had. They'd never get used unless it was for me haha! And you can't tell but the jeweled ones have this sort of "ocean" look about them. As if they'd been sitting in the ocean for a while and got that greenish look. Like how the copper Statue of Liberty became that green color haha
