....not your usual White Wednesday

Lots of folks who blog link-up to share their
WHITE WEDNESDAY

photos...usually their homes, decorating & beautiful photographs...

so, what is a primitive hooker to do?
well, show a WIP of my white jack'o's, of course !

~ Sideways-glancing & ever-paranoid of becoming a pie...

this one is almost finished being hooked and will become a doll eventually.

a large doll... like a 3 foot tall large doll....
and will be going to the Ghoultide Gathering in October.

...because I need the dolls to be more stable, I'm hooking them on burlap ~
which is not my backing-of-choice, as I sneeze & wheeze from it's fibers...

all hand-cut wool strips, in a variety of whites -

textures, as-is & overdyed for a nice OLD look.

He's kind of shifty-looking, no?

while I'm hooking, I can't help but imagine who he will become...
perhaps he has that expression because a crow has landed on his head?
or maybe he is attempting to be scary...who knows.

the fun has just begun!!!

AND

Speaking of HOOKING ~
Kris over at www.SPRUCERIDGESTUDIOS.COM has released FIVE, yes 5 !!!!
