She is a pretty girl!
More Liberty fabric– this fabric is vintage and originally from my Mom’s collection. Her cashmere sweater has a lettuce edge and antique buttons.
She has a golden-yellow purse with a bird bead.
Her bag, her cashmere sweater, and her pretty dress.
Grey Kitty made of herringbone wool.
Her dress is Liberty lawn fabric, with vintage rickrack edging.
A blue-green corduroy jacket and a Liberty of London vest- what a handsome fellow!
He has a cashmere sweater and a cotton flannel herringbone jacket.
A messenger bag and a red and white handkerchief.
And here is the whole gang!
Four adorable kitty cats! What a family!
More squirrels!
Her sweater decoration-
It is the perfect time of year for garden photos!
She has squirrels and mushrooms on her dress. I made her a mushroom purse to match.
Here is a close-up of her purse-
And here she is in the gardens of my new home.
I really wanted to get another post out before August is over. Happy Labor Day weekend to all my US friends! I have finished up a group of 4 kitties that are a special gift for someone :-)
Here is the first kitty girl-
She has a cashmere sweater with tiny antique 3-hole buttons. What a sweet face!
All her goodies.
Purse close-up-
And here she is in the garden, hanging out with all her gnome friends!
What is going on? Well, I have been working on kitties but I started from scratch so I am building up inventory of all the parts.
But first; I was looking around on Ebay this past weekend because some of my pottery bowls came up for sale. (I have an alert on Ebay for my artwork) These are gone already, but I found more where the seller spelled my name wrong. Here and here. In case anyone is interested.
Back to the kitties-
Step one; find all the cat appropriate fabrics. Step 2; Cut out and sew up too many kitties! Step 3; sew on the noses, embroider the faces, attach the arms.
Step 4; get them dressed. I haven’t really touched all my lovely fabrics for about 1 1/2 years so I kinda went overboard…
There are even a few more that aren’t sewed up yet. Yikes! Well, I will be ready for lots of future kitties and foxes.
Here are some of my friends, waiting for their turn to be dressed. And enjoying the air conditioning because it is VERY hot in Chicago this week.
Here are some sweet girl kitties that are almost finished- just have to do their accessories. It is so much fun to see things moving forward again. Next I have to make some boy kitty clothes.
Another Green-tailed Mer-lady.
She has silver knots in her hair-
It is the first time I’ve tried french knots with metallic embroidery floss. I got this beautiful watery batik for her hair during my recent trip to Connecticut.
Still playing with tail embroidery.
I gave her some decoration on her back-
And some relaxing shots :-)
Dreaming of the beach…
And making friends-
This mermaid has a lot of purple!
She is a slim mermaid. If you haven’t noticed, I made 3 body sizes :-)
Her hair matches her fins.
The ombre dyeing crept right up her belly. Tiny glass stars beads on her belt.
I’m still playing with the tail embroidery. And I decorated the back a bit.
