shirt
This is a shirt made of a fabric that grandmother made. She made fantastic stuff in her loom and the most of my things from her is woven things. I have some rolls of fabric too, that I don’t know exactly what to do with. I think I have some of this particular one as well.
This shirt is really worn down on the cuffs because I use to wear it a lot earlier.
this drawing doesn’t show the fabric as well as I wanted so I tried to do a small close up yesterday. I did not get the time I needed for it so I will try again later. I don’t know exactly how to paint fabric so that the texture and pattern is there. I have only tried with ink, watercolor and guache so far, I would like to try it with colored pencils later.

Maria, what a lovely shirt! The fabric looks so soft and comfortable. That’s a nice heritage from your grandmother.
