i like sewing














I haven't picked up a paintbrush since finishing my work for the exhibition over a month ago - that's the longest I've gone without making a picture in a very long time! Instead I've been enjoying a bit of sewing. Here are my latest felt creations. The green bear above I sent to a lady in Argentina, as part of the Art Exchange. I hope it reached her ok, and that he is happy in his new home :)

  3. They're all so adorable, but my personal favourite is the little dog in the dungarees. Do they all have names? :)

  4. A few people have mentioned animating them - seeing them move might be lots of fun! Sewing these little things brings a different kind of fun that I don't get when I work 2-dimensionally. Once I start stuffing them and see them take shape, some creatures actually makes me laugh out loud at how silly they look! It's all good fun :)

  5. And no, they don't really have names...I'm thinking eventually when they make their own merry little way into the world, their new owners can name them :)

  10. I agree, you should sell them! That way I can purchase the lion in the top hat. He's quite the gentleman!
