I am going to be teaching 2 classes in January at Gather Here in Cambridge MA.
On January 17 and 18 I will be teaching the Swaddled Baby. On January 31 and February 1, I will be teaching Tiny World Pin Cushions. Both of these classes run for 2 afternoons. Come and join the fun!
this is the last of the dolls that I wanted to post after Christmas- just in case. It is also the last doll I will be posting for 2014. I am working on a project for next year and that’ll keep me busy for the next few weeks.
He has an antique moose button- another one that I was saving for a lumberjack.
This fine fellow was a special request gift for another very fine fellow! I had a blast making him a little bit extra special. Here he is without his cap-
He has an eagle on his chest and George Washington on his arm. He has an antique reindeer button for his belt buckle- perfect for a lumberjack! I’d been saving it and waiting for the right man.
He has an axe and I also made him a backpack so I could put some surprises in it.
Happy Travels!
I am getting to the last dolls of the year here. Some I am waiting to post until after Christmas since I don’t want to ruin any surprises. This fellow will be going into my etsy shop right after I post this.
This toile is wonderful- I love the sailing port imagery. He has wool felt suspenders with embroidered decoration. And an axe of course.
This was made for a special customer who has bought a whole family of dolls over this year!
I took 2 outside pics that I really liked so they are both here.
I will be putting these into my etsy shop today.
Quieter colors on this one, on a cashmere background of (reminds me of my mother) beige.
And 4 babies together. I have more but the weather is so terrible I might not be able to photograph them until the weekend.
This kind of applique is where my lousy dyeing skills are actually an asset. I love how the uneven color makes the pieces so much more interesting.
