A big man with a top knot.



There he is- George Washington with all kinds of other (I am sure) symbolic imagery that I have no idea how to interpret. And I found this awesome button in my collection. Perfect.

I thought the lady was in a balloon but it is actually more like a parachute- some of these toiles don’t really make sense. Anyway, I am sure it is a great adventure. Here is a better pic.
Here is the back of the hair-
In case you are wondering, here is the definition of chinoiserie. This pattern seems to be about gardening and being in a garden.
I worked to give him some floppy hair.
A musical lady on his chest. A fancy button on his belt.
He is a big man with yellow pants and more classic toile.
Lots of animals, greenery, and a lady on the front,
and a man with a donkey on the back.
I like this new hair fabric I found! And that button came from a tin box that my neighbor gave me.
He is a few little pink spots that come from the dyeing process. Oh well, it’s a true sign of handmade, right?
And a white-haired pirate at that!
Not to mention, more skeleton tattoos. These have more of a Victorian look though.
A skull button.
I love that swirly hair fabric! When I find a fabric that is so perfect, I try to buy it in all the possible hair colors.
That is a fancy antique glass button.
He is hanging out on the porch, catching some warm(er) breezes. The potted plants are beginning to creep out as the days and nights get warmer- ie not going below freezing. The smaller pot has mint in it, coming back to life after being ignored all winter.
Here is the first one in line. I’ve got a whole stack on my worktable and I’m working to bring them to life this week. (Not all of these will get finished although in my fantasy they do!)
He has a sweet curl in his hair-
She is the last one for now.
All her flowers, butterflies, and her light green dress are cashmere and so, so soft.
And her beige slippers-
Her flowers go all the way around her neckline.
I just LOVE her! I don’t use purple very much in my artwork, but a few years ago I got a BIG bag of fabric scraps from someone who makes beautiful cashmere coats. There were beautiful rich jewel tones that I probably wouldn’t buy but once I had them in my hands, I got inspired.
She has little yellow slippers.
The weather has been nice enough that we brought the chairs out onto the porch. Let Spring begin!
She has a flower in her hair-
Here are several detail shots-
Leaves and shoes!
