Often, when I am starting a new group of dolls, I go back to designs I have done previously to get inspired. I used this beautiful lady as an inspiration for this baby. I love how these colors work together.
The applique pieces (flowers and leaves) are all cashmere. So soft!
And here are 2 outside photos- doesn’t this baby look glorious next to the coleus!
Hi again! I’m back to work on dolls after taking time off to do other life projects. I did a lot of boring stuff but also worked on a quilt top.The top is mostly finished and I plan to do the quilting part after I finish my fall shows (October and November) or maybe after Christmas. Anyway, finally something finished to show you!
Well, that is enough Tiny Worlds for now. Here are the last 2 of this batch.
I am going to try to get all the Tiny Worlds into my Etsy shop in the next few days. After that, I will be taking some time off. Hope to see you back here, probably after Labor Day (sept 6). To start my time off, I went to the ICA yesterday to see the amazing show at the Watershed.
One more (and one last) Art Party for me! I am doing another Art Party Central event, this Thursday, August 19 at 3:30 and 7:30 Eastern Time. Would you like to come and join in the fun? RSVP here! Or go to the site and RSVP from there. Why should you come? Because you will get a 10% off coupon for MY SHOP and might even win a $50 gift certificate!!! I will talk about my work for a least 5 minutes (lol) and show details of the work. You can ask me questions. And you can see some other amazing artists- it is a virtual Zoom Craft Fair. I’d love to see you there!
Vines and french knots and flowers!
This one has a thatched roof and hopefully an English Cottage look.
And this one inspired me to try some new flower patterns.
I’ve added the first 6 cups into my Etsy shop here.
This mug came from the same friend who gave me the demitasse cap in the last post. It is a different design and just as beautiful.
I might make another one of these tents before I finish this batch. We shall see how long I stay motivated! I liked how the campfire turned out. This is the last campsite cup I made.
This cup and saucer came from my friend Betsy who was cleaning out her Mom’s apartment. It is a small, demitasse or espresso size.
This cup (below) was from another friend. Another house being cleared out. It seems like the pandemic inspired a lot of clearing out of stuff.
I have acquired some very pretty teacups in the last year or so and I’m excited to turn them into something new!
I got a shoebox full of these cups and saucers from my neighbor who was clearing out her house.
And this teacup (below) came from the one thrifting expedition that I have done in the last 18 months or so.
It is fun to completely change gears! Of course changing gears in my world can be sort of messy…
And I have grandkitty Hattie staying in the house these days- she is helping me out :-)
