I missed WOYWW this week as I hadn't anything to show. What with getting ready for holidays, recovering from holidays, watching Olympics, recovering from Olympics and being a generally all-round lazy so-and-so crafting hasn't had much of a look in for quite a few weeks. In fact my inks have probably dried up and my rubber stamps perished it's been that long since I did any stamping. That's set to change though as I'm determined to get some done this week.
To ease myself in gradually I started a little art doll yesterday and finished her this morning. Here is my work-tray....
Tatty old needlecase that I made at school, lots of seed beads and the finished doll. I did some needle-felting to make the body in my favourite blues and greens and this time it was a success. The first piece I made (see previous post) fell apart when I took it off the foam block but then it was my first ever. Good job I don't give up easily.
Here she is in close-up.
I know she only has legs but that's because she is (h)armless - can you tell I love puns? Mr B thinks she looks creepy but then he has no taste ha ha.
She will be on her way to a good home soon as a little 'thank-you' . Think I'm going to make another one just for me.
Good to be back - see you Wednesday.
