Fabric book continued

I didn't like the face on the left so I changed it a bit... she now looks like a kitty. I finished the other face last night. Maybe he has a melon for a hat,,, I'm not sure.

Can you imagine my excitement when

I found this great fabric designed by Terrie Mangat for Free Spirit. I found it on Fabric.com and it was on sale too! It comes with green and red backgrounds as well. I thought the black was very cool so I purchased 2 yards of it. Oh the things I can make,,,,I'm imagining new cool cloth dolls with this fabric as skirts!

Fabric book

This is a story I am creating about Mr Pea Hat who goes on the search for other people like him who wear strange hats. I made this out of heavy duc fabric and machine stitched the pages together. I paint the pages with gesso first then paint my pages with artist grade acrylics. So far Mr Pea Hat meets a strange woman with a bird hat. I hope to add some more pages this week.

Bella, Topsy Turvey

Bella is my interpretation of a topsy turvey doll. She is made from duc fabric, gessoed with acrylics. She is approx 10 inches tall. Her sister on the other end has blond hair, while Bella has black hair. The duc fabric was a little difficult to turn, so next time I would probably use muslin. She wears a cute little skirt that can be turned depending what side you want her to be on. For now Bella keeps me company in my studio but soon she will be on her way to her new home.

Fish girl

This fish girl is a world traveler. She went to Australia for a gallery exhibit, then came home to me several months later. She measures approx 14 x 7, and is crafted with muslin, polyfil, and acrylics. I hope to get her in my shop this weekend. I am in the process of making another stuffed art doll. She is a topsy turvey doll. She is near completion and I will post her as soon as I can.
I hope you are all having a lovely spring week.

Finished moleskine

I finished my Moleskine just the other day. I just have to add a touch more to the back covers but for all general purposes it is done! I'll take more photographs a little later.

What I'm working on

I have made some progress as you can see from my last post. This project will be either a pillow or maybe I'll make into a small mat. Right now it measures 15 x 15. I may make adjustments later.
