A Fun Replica

My sister in law has a cute children's YouTube channel called Spotty Dotty. The show has great themes for children, fun songs, art, etc. She had a recent show with a painting that was creative because she used different things (a fork, pencil eraser, cotton swaps, etc) to create the painting. When it was finished, the colors reminded me of fabrics that I have and I thought, I wonder if I could replicate the image in textiles.

So I gave it a try!


This is the painting by my sister in law, show link- https://youtu.be/Ory50HaBqFI


This is my replica of her painting using different patterned textiles. I cut out the shapes, glued them together on a pieced background and used fabric from a fat quarter to make the border. When the glue dried, I stitched each piece to secure them to the background.

It isn't a precise replica but an interpretation, which is what makes art so wonderful. You have the freedom to do whatever!

Happy Mothers Day to all the creative moms!
