I think she looks very strong!
tattooed dancer
She is going into my shop as soon as I finish over here. And there is another lady too. These are the last of the dolls before Christmas.
This is a dancer with a curvy figure!
gift suggestions!
Here are some ideas that don’t have to be wrapped!
How about the Sweet Paul/ Makerie Retreat in NYC this coming March. I’ll be making owls and I can not wait!
Or maybe you are more of a country person. How about the 2nd Art Retreat Camp in New Hampshire next August? I will be doing Tiny World pin cushions and a few other little fun projects. Here is a video for a little taste of summer.
And maybe it isn’t a retreat you are thinking of. How about a little bit of Art? I am showing one piece in a show at Art Stream- Off The Grid. All the Art is 6″ x 6″ and all available through their online shop.
I am going to try to get my act together and write up a list of recommendations for products that I love and maybe you might too. Let’s see if I manage to find the time!
a fox in a cape
She has a cashmere cape with brass buttons.
She needs it to keep warm today!
I am definitely affected by the weather. After I made her, I decided she needed a scarf too because, BRRR!
little girl fox
She has all the soft fabrics! Her dress is made of baby corduroy and the jacket is flannel.
This photo is a bit over-exposed but you can really see the flannel design. Isn’t it pretty?
Yes, we got some snow. And then some rain. And then it froze, which makes shoveling difficult. It’s a good day to work at home.
She is now in my etsy shop.
Tattooed Lady
With a bit of a Wonder Woman look. I don’t plan on that, it just happens. She has zoo tattoos.
man in a kilt
This is a first for me- a kilt. That means pleats. Always fun to do a little research.
The kilt is removable with buttons and a hook on the inside of the waist.
And I KNOW you are all wondering what is under the kilt. Well, Spoiler Alert!!!
Sorry for the terrible picture. I was putting this post together and realized that I’d forgotten to take a kilt-off photo. I took this one with artificial light and it’s pretty bad. But, you needed to see, right?
The reason (or inspiration) for the kilt was that I didn’t like how he looked in just his shorts. The toile fabric had more stretch than the cotton I used for his pants and once I stuffed him, I thought it looked oddly bulgy in places. So, inspiration hit! Honestly, that is really how it works.
explorer fox
I imagine him out hiking in the forest.
fresh owls
fox with a camera
I love the color of his corduroy jacket. It works perfectly with his orange color.
He’s got a hankie in his pocket for cleaning any dust off the lens.
