Eggs are hatching!

Sue, my very talented friend, who is a constant inspiration to me has just made these beautiful eggs. Soft gentle colours in lovely wool, appliqued and embellished, who can resist.

Queen of Hearts

Just finished my Valentine whimsical doll for 2008, well almost done except for a bunch of hearts for her to hold. I have about three weeks left before my Valentine open house and am working flat out to get all done that I wanted to do. Why do I leave it so late? I really needed to start work on this last year but there just never seems to be time to catch up!!
Queen of Hearts was made without a pattern, i love to create ad-lib, just winging it along. Her dress is a lovely old deep red wool fabric, its ever so soft and fall beautifully. Her trims are vintage lace and real feathers, her crown i made from a broken real pearl necklace i have had for many many years. Her head is painted muslin
and sprinkled with mica

Snowdoll 2007

I have just finished my first snow doll for 2007.Made entirely without a pattern, snowdoll stands 16 inches tall, her head is muslin and in four pieces, painted, aged and baked and covered in a sprinkling of mica. Her clothers are layered with body in a mustard cotton, dress in cotton brick red with stars, apron in a checked red/mustard, coat in sage green wool with check red/green cotton collar and pockets and matching scarf ending in a rusty star.

SOLD, thanks for the interest.
