Splodge splodge

Here she is again, the little madam Heidi. The rag strips were flattened when I got up this morning, there was a warm round dent in it where her body had laid. Here is an update on rag rug number two, it's looking good. 
I have ten colours so far, and enough of these to make more splodges in the same colours. It's a matter of spacing them out, mixing and matching. The red looking splodge on the right is in fact peach, and there are two shades of green in there, as well as three shades of blue, one of turquoise, one red, one purple, and one grey.



I went to town this afternoon to the £1 charity shop and bought three more teeshirts. That makes five I have bought so far. I don't intend buying any more, because to spend money on it would defeat the object of making something for nothing, using rubbish that would normally be thrown away.  Pity the car boot sale is not on, I could get them a lot cheaper there.

This is taking my time up at the moment. I did think I would spread the job over a couple of months, but it's quite exciting to see the colours grouped together, and it spurs me on to keep going. I am enjoying working on this one more than the first, because a bit more artistic thought has to go into it. What shape to make the random splodges, and which colours go best next to each other. The finished article is going to look brilliant. Something else to brighten my house up, I'm excited :o))
