Playing with some new fabric





I got some of the Primatex with lycra from http://www.dharmatrading.com
one of my favorite naughty places to shop...well when it arrived today
WOW it's so smooth...so I tried it on a cloth over clay face which is drying so that I will then share it...while waiting I tried a flat face with watercolor pencils...WOW I love it...it doesn't stretch too much so that it's hard to stuff...good point
the pencils flow wonderfully...good point
I did a bit of needle sculpting...no puckers...another good point...
wohoo so I thought I should share this face til the cloth over is finshed...

Something a bit different



While in Australia Lee and John of Yadeno Fibercraft made me some hand made felt fabric...it's handmade felt with a cotton backing which is wonderful to make a felt doll with...and then they made me some small bits to embellish her with...I knew right away what she would look like...so finally I am finished with her...it will be an exclusive pattern only thru Yadeno Fibercraft
yadeno@halenet.com.au or thru me...these are horrid pictures BUT my new camera well my new/old camera is on it's way and you can bet I will have better pictures next week...but had to share I thought she was fun and wow what fun to embellish with a felting needle instead of glue or needle and thread...
