On the phone illustration & how to dye doilies from Martha Stewart

I painted this new piece of a girl on the phone. If you look closely in her shirt I over-laid the negative space of a doily for a pattern effect.

For my mother’s day gift wrap my mom dyed some doilies following a how-to in Martha Stewart magazine (here are some snaps from the shoot on Martha’s blog). They look amazing. So I scanned them and used them in some illustrations.

I found this great step by step how-to dye doilies on Crafty Monday for those of you who didn’t get the magazine but want to dye some doilies.
