I think it would be possible to mail them though- I think about all the other things that get through- magazines especially. The challenge would be to get the stamp to stick. The zig-zag must be a personal taste thing- I really love it. I have done some with free motion embroidery, but I like to use that like a drawn line- I use it along with the zig zig. I have no interest in the hand turned applique method- I have never felt successful with incorporating it into my work. That is why I was so excited when I discovered this technique- http://mimikirchner.com/blog/archives/2006/07/little-red-ridinghood/ This technique has inspired lots of new dolls besides Miss Hood... the boyfriends for example.

Do they get used as postcards? I'm afraid I have a personal grudge against zig-zag stitch though. Have you ever tried making them with a little free-hand machine embroidery instead of the zig-zag? I love the way Janet Bolton turns under her hems by hand but this takes ages. They are really charming. Do they get used as postcards?

As a former New Englander, these remind me of the nicest parts of winter - crisp days, sparkles on ice crystals, snowflakes in the air, and colorful, warm clothing. But I think I'll stay here in the South, just savoring winter in my memories. Wonderful work, as always, that evokes wonder and pleasure at your talent and creativity.
