Slow Stitching Sunday

 

I am making slow progress on my wonky doll.  Hopefully, she will come together this week.  I want to make sure to get her face right.  The face is everything!  I have had to restart it.  I love it when I get it right the first time, but that has not been the case.  I am not giving up!

Even though I have not finished writing and illustrating the book for my grandson, I am imagining this wonky doll being the main character in the book for my granddaughter!  I think she will love it!

    I always find the faces of dolls to be 'just right' tricky to achieve. I like the idea of a wonky doll to be the main subject in a book for your granddaughter. How fun.

    I think faces are very challenging to get right - I'll look forward to seeing what you do there. I love the heart!

    You will give her a lovely face - after all, you have already dressed her in colourful garb.

   I am glad that  LeeAnna  asks these questions.  It is fun to think about the answers! did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream?  Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" Back-to-school shopping was not done in our home.  Mom bought clothes when she found a good bargain.  Mom sometimes would sew or knit for us.  We also got hand-me-downs.  We were always clean and appropriately dressed for the season.  I hated the ugly footwear she would buy for me.  I now have a very large collection of gorgeous shoes!  Lots of sparkles! My family got together this past weekend.  Cousins, aunts, and uncles all came together for a barbecue at my home.  There were 30 of us all told.  14 of which were under the age of 16.  It is lovely to get caught...

Slow Stitching Sunday

 I think my little fish is finished.  I had thought about adding beads but there is enough sparkle on this little fish.  Some loose threads need to be clipped or trapped underneath when I stitch it into its home.  I had so much fun stitching this fish that I have started another one.  I am also thinking about doing a butterfly in the same way.   They will all find a home in the right project eventually.  In the meantime, I will enjoy the slow stitching!

Mandala Monday

 Often, when I create a loose and free mandala, I don't like it.  They are fun to create and that should be enough.  I am happy to say that this loose mandala is one that I do like.  It is truly a mixed media piece.  I used transfer foil, paint, crayon and markers.  So fun!
