Funky Felt Pins Stage 2

Here are the first 4 felt pins (brooches) that i've managed to finish so far. Not sure how they will go down as xmas pressies though lol.

I've really enjoyed doing these. I just loooove beading with the tiny seed beads. NEVER have i had patience whilst doing my work, til i started sewing these little beauties. I love the look of them, i just love sewing with them, i love the sound they make when you lay the finished piece on the table. I think i must be cracking up lol.


I would like to take this opportunity to say a BIG thankyou to everyone who voted for me in the Mind Wide Open challenge. I was sooo lucky to be a runner up. Can you believe it, cos i can't. With all those beauuuuuutiful pieces of work, i really shouldn't have stood a chance, except for you precious guys out there voted for me. I BOW DOWN IN GRATITUDE. . thankyou.

i've already received my prize, as i elected to go for the Digital download collage sheet. That way i can use it over and over again. I Got to choose from the FABULOUS Shabby Cottage Studio
Thankyou to Gail who sets this monthly challenge. I'm not sure if i have the nerve to enter again, as much as i did enjoy the challenge. Maybe just now and again lol.

Couple of pieces to show you sometime over the weekend, that i MIGHT send off to Stampington & Co, to be considered for the New Marie Antoinette magazine they are publishing next year. I'm so unsure of myself, and feel that i may be bragging, by entering these kinda things. It's just now and again I have a little confidence and think 'yeeeah why not', and sooo regret having entered afterwards.

Still onwards and upwards as the Bishop said to the actress.

A FANTASTIC GIVEAWAY HERE IN BEAUTIFUL SUNNY MEXICO.
Please head on over and leave a Pattie a comment, she'll sure make you welcome.

New Dolls

Here are the proto-types for 2 of the dolls i'm trying to design for myself.
By making them first, i can see what needs doing to fine tune them, and with hindsight would not have used the precious fabric on them. The geisha girl is made from fabric imported from Japan, and the Booby doll is Laura Ashley. Still you learn from your mistakes.

I've got some gorgeous Kaffe Fasset fabric, and will NOT be using that on a protype. LOL

Geisha Girl


Booby Doll,
Pamela Anderson eat your heart out LOL.

Like i said these are just proto-types, and need a fair bit of fine tuning.
My next painting is coming along slowly, so won't be revealed until next week. Another zetti of course.
