lady with wave hair

Here is a peril of working with reclaimed materials- sometimes, after the artwork is very far along, I find a problem. Since this doll is unlikely to get rough handling (I assume), I didn’t think it was toss worthy and so I made a little mend.

The next lady is on my desk. The computer is too and that is not a typical sight in my studio. I try to keep the computer out because it is so distracting. But, I am working away on my kitty pattern, getting very close finishing. So, there it is.

    I really like the way the stripe pattern is interrupted on her breasts. A nice touch!

    Hi, Mimi. I love these tattooed ladies. Do you think it would be interesting to make some pregnant tattooed ladies? that would be so cool :=)

    I’m re-reading your entire blog for…I don’t know…maybe the 5th time. Still enjoy it a lot!

    So glad you didn’t pump up the breasts. Just right!

    The little mend just seems like a small scar to me; a result, no doubt, from some of her acrobatic activities. Another lovely lady!
