Come to my garden


This is as far as I've gotten. Hey, it's a start!

Today I worked on a Window Face mini quilt. It's an online class hosted by Angela Jarecki. You start out by drawing a face in colored pencil on cloth, then you add crazy quilt pieces around the window, free stitching them in place. Next come embellishments, which I haven't gotten to yet.

The little girl doll I sculpted last week to place in my shop has a tiny red dot on her arm that I can't remove. I tried to scrape it off with a blade, but it seems to be embedded, and because I already have her baked and glazed I can't re-bake her. One more road block, but I'm getting used to that.

  1. Where is the dot? Can you cover it with something like a bracelet/arm band? Woo hoo you are a blogger now :].

  2. It's on her upper outside left arm. Looks like a smallpox vaccination. I thought maybe a tattoo, but I don't think she would approve. Do you think a bracelet would look strange up there?

  3. ooh, i know...what about using two small pieces of lace and wrapping/gluing each around the tops of her arms under/against the sculpted sleeves like it's part of her dress. You could even paint the lace to match before you add it.
