I remember when I was a kid, a flowing scarf like that indicated a Hollywood mogul or a flying ace pilot. This kitty is more on the Hollywood side, I think. Below you can see his fancy vest/waistcoat. The jacket, the vest, and the messenger bag, all have antique buttons. Button <3
This is the last of my pre-show dolls and I am posting her last because she was the one who found a new home last Saturday.
She is a fox girl with a fox covered dress!
Now, I am working on finishing up 2 pieces (2 kitties) that I didn’t finish before the show. And also trying to deal with the chaos in my studio and maybe even get some fun and or home sewing done. I am happy to be back in the studio and not spending full days on the computer!
Yes, definitely a cranky face.
He has a fine baby wale corduroy jacket and a yellow cashmere scarf. He is sporting some Liberty of London fabrics, both in his classic vest and also his pocket square which is a scrap of fabric from and old shirt of my Dads’ (probably form the 60’s or earlier).
A fox fellow in summer biz wear. He has that nice blue linen jacket which, when I put it on him, reminded me of Bill Cunningham. So, I was tempted to make him a felt camera. But there was no time before the show and he really is just fine and dapper as he is.
His fox body is made of some more of my hand-dyed wool, hence the not-so-even color.
These last few things will be going into my etsy shop today and then I will be done with the listings for the time being! Writing up the listings is one of my least favorite jobs but obviously, it has to be done, right?!
A sweet herringbone tweed kitty girl in her Liberty of London fabric dress. And a cashmere sweater too!
I was frantically finishing pieces to take to the Arts Festival last Saturday. I had a small pile of kitties and foxes that were sewed up and stuffed but not dressed. I got most of them finished by last Friday night (5 out of 7)! Only one sold so the rest will be going into my etsy shop this week. And, I will be posting them here too and the sold one will come last :-)
I think this fox girl is looking very bright and summer-y.
I like her expression which looks curious to me.
It can take a while to get everything posted into the shop. So far, I have all the owls posted. If you saw anything that I’ve posted since I got back from LA (the last month- owls, tiny worlds) that you’d be interested in purchasing, email me at mimikirchner@pobox.com and I will send you all the details.
Tiny Worlds 13, 14, 15 are 2 castles and one last little house. Tomorrow is the Art Festival and then there will be a big restock of my Etsy shop.
Thank goodness for church tag sales- that is where I get lots of good cups!
I haven’t put any of these tiny worlds into my etsy shop yet because I am doing a show next weekend and I am focusing all my time on making pieces for that. The show is the Coolidge Corner Arts Festival. Come and see me is you are in the area!
I have had a lot of fun with all my variegated threads on these tiny worlds.
2 more.
Another Mid-Century cup-
And a diner classic-
Here is seven, all together-
I have more but will have to wait for the rain to stop to photograph them. Fingers crossed for some good weather!
