I’ve been doing things. Making summer clothes, cleaning the studio, working with my plants- indoors and outdoors. I was feeling very uninspired but finally got back to work anyway. Of course, then I got my mojo back! How could I have ignored my favorite mantra- Just do something!
I started here-
Then got to here-
And then here is the first one I finished. And finally photographed.
A sweet soft heather baby.
The body is wool but the leaves and hat are soft cashmere.
He is the last one for now. I am cleaning up the mess from all these fellows! On to new things- I am not sure what yet.
A beautiful ship tattoo on his chest.
He has an anchor button of course.
This fellow has brown hair and eyes.
More of that amazing fabric. And a button with waves.
One more after this :-)
Such amazing fabric! And an antique shell button.
Dreamy eyes and all the vegetables.
More veg on his back!
All the fruits and vegetables are what summer is all about!
With skeletons?
He has 3 Wise Skeletons on his chest. I know that this Day of the Dead with a Christmas theme has a name but I don’t know what it is.
A little skull button to go with the fabric design.
I have made one red Merman before- they are rare fellows! This one is all-around darker than the first one. More of a smoldering fire this time.
Gold rickrack belt with a yellow gem button.
The silver isn’t as obvious as the purple, but it is there with the silver rickrack belt, and silver details in his tail. He even has a “diamond” jewel button on his belt.
Back of his hair-
I now live in a historic building and it has a Palm Court! Fancy!
After I finished the pirates, I’ve been working with dolls that were already in progress. Some of which I sewed up before the move, so 2 years now. It is great to be able to jump in to a project with some of the design decisions already made.
This really is the most amazing fabric! And look; I found a unicorn button in my collection!
He is a serious fellow with lots of Country Estate tattoos.
Here he is with a cat (Jasper)-
Jasper is always eager to help out. And here without a cat-
