I will name him after Edward Gorey. He would fit right in to one of Gorey’s illustrations, don’t you think?
Arm details, more dressed-up skeletons.
Man in a Kilt
This fellow is made from some over-dyed Laura Ashley fabric that I have had in my stash since the 70’s. Yes, it’s true, I never throw anything away. When I was last sorting through the fabric drawers and came across it, I realized it would make good medieval-looking tattoos.
We had a few days of Spring this week. It makes one hopeful.
Green Man with Birds
He has a glorious beard.
Back to the tattoos
I’ll be posting a group of tattooed people but none will be available until after the Smithsonian Craft Show. I am in full production mode, sewing like a demon if demons sew… I’m not so sure about that. Anyway, nothing available until May 1.
Red-haired cosmic man.
TW 11 and 12- Lighthouses!
The last 2 for now are 2 lighthouses.
The ocean and snowy tiny worlds are rarer because I have to find the right kind of cup to put them in. Somehow, flower designs don’t work for me and they are what I find most when I am in the thrift store.
TW 9 and 10- Fairy Houses
Forget-Me-Nots and Lily of the Valley decorate this cup.
This is a glass sugar bowl, I think? It came with a creamer which I will make into something another day.
Tiny Worlds 7 and 8
A bright yellow house. It is fun to use the same cup and using the colors of the decoration, come up with a variety of designs.
This Tiny World is made on a lovely cup with Paul Revere’s historic ride.
Tiny Snowy World Pincushion 5 and 6
Winter in Boston didn’t show up this year until March! We had enough snow to cover the ground yesterday but it was pretty much all gone by this morning. I will be happy if I don’t see any more real snow until next November at the earliest.
This kind of snow I can deal with. And OOPS! Ignore that hair on my snowy hill!
Tiny World Pincushions 3 and 4
Another tea cup with violets.
And a mid-century Modern cup and saucer, made in Germany and found in a thrift shop.
Tiny World Pincushions
I am working hard to have a good selection of my work for the Smithsonian Show. I will be at the opening gala in less than 3 weeks! Because I am so focused on getting ready for the show, I won’t be putting anything new into my Etsy shop until May 1.
Tiny World 1
I went to a tag sale at a church in my neighborhood and someone had apparently donated their collection of violet decorated teacups. You will be seeing several pincushions ahead with violets!
Tiny World 2
