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...
Well I'm almost finished with my next pattern and pressmold and this will be the last til next year...wohoo but I just had to get him finished...he was gonna be a santa but he insisted he be the Elf Meister...he is a cone puppet...will post pictures tomorrow as he needs his face painted, hair and hat and he will be ready...I have the pattern all written up as I did as I went...he had lots of drying time...and Jeff said the mold will be ready on friday...so just a heads up to check back tomorrow...teehee
Well the pattern is written and off to the printer...she now has a body...I just have to share since she will be naked on the pattern front...but she will have hair...so i'm off to find her hair and then she can have her final picture taken for the pattern front...then of course I need to dress her since this will give you an idea of many how to dress yours...
Well I was working on a purse to submit to the stampinton purse book...but I realize I'm not gonna make the deadline...however I am gonna donate it to a fund raiser we have on Saturday....but thought yall might like to see it...
Elodie Whisper is her new name...named by Ivy Yates of Australia and Debb
Well she is finished...the pressmold is ready and I will have the pattern ready to go out on Monday...but now she needs a name...she is 9" and has dragonfly wings...
Well after a week of more or less rest...I'm ready to create...I am working on my catch up projects and I have a new elfin that is being born also...I had the pressmold ready when I went to Victoria BC so many of those girls have the mold for him and I promised a body to go with him soon...well he is coming to be...I'm off to sew his body as I did design it and can't wait for him to come to life...it feels good to be rested...oh my
What a treat...we went to mom and dad's in Gladbrook as the girls came to trick or treat since it's a nice little town....had to share the frog princess and the butterfly...
well i'm finally home and slowly catching up with what seems like tons on the list of behinds...egads...but I just finished my online class stuff which is good and so thought I would share her with yall...

WEll the pictures didn't turn out to badly...all tho she doesn't have her real wreath of flowers on her head but she needs the body first...however this is the new kitty pressmold that will fit the body of the Victorian Rabbit...she doesn't have a name yet either...teehee
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...
I made this doll last year when I was in Australia however I sold it while I was there and didn't get a picture...so I was so excited that Karen had one to share with me...love sherry
