A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

Another addition

 For a change of pace while I contemplate the next landscape, I made this...



She will be heading for the Christmas box for our little granddaughter.  She'll be just about four then and the perfect age for a dolly that comes with a couple changes of clothes...a nightie, and a pair of jeans with a top.  The doll pattern is one I have cobbled together from several different ones.

- THIS looks like it would be a fun thing to try.

- Have  a peek at the gallery of THIS artist!  And THIS one as well.

- The raw materials for THIS are certainly readily available.

- HERE is another technique to try.

Today's quote is from Adam Smith..."Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent"

    1. Hmmm- am I ever ready for Christmas? There might be another little dress for this doll if I decide to make a dress for our grandie (then she and her doll will match!).

    Nice links. Cardboard is excellent for making sculpture models.

  4. I love the doll. And extra clothes, great. I expect you will wait for her new mom to name her?

    1. Oh no, I won't name her. Our grandie will be just about 4 at Christmas so just the right age to be changing clothes.

    Sherryofcreateology: I love your Dolly and her clothes for your little granddaughter. I can’t believe she is four so quickly. I love the Organza treatments and the water soluable fabrics. I actually have a beautiful scarf my husband bought me from an artist who made it with water soluable and many lovely specialty yarns and threads. Summer Smiles My Friend.

    1. Yes, I can't believe she will be four in January! Can't believe our oldest grandie just turned 11 too.
