My Girls
I have been devoting most of my craft time to the project I call "My Girls." I know, it's not a very interesting name, so I'm waiting for something brilliant to come to me. (Feel free to suggest something better than My Girls.)
So, here is girl No. 1. Her eye doesn't look weird in real life; it's just the wrinkle in the fabric. She is destined to be appliqued onto a quilt.
She evolved from some doodles in my sketchbook. I have to say, it is more fun embroidering something that I designed than someone else's designs -- even though there are gorgeous designs out there.
Girl No. 2 is even more of an experiment. I'm going to try making her into a pillow doll.

Neither girl is complete yet. But they are getting close.

ReplyDeleteThe "girls" remind me a bit of those nesting dolls that fit inside each other. And remind me a bit, for some reason, of paper dolls...
