Creativity ~

H E L L O!

...a nice Saturday here in the shop ~
taught Patti how to cross stitch!!



started her off on 18ct aida ~ 
but also showed her how to count threads 
on linen so she can work her way into that :)
so far so good!

counting, counting.....

intense concentration going on here ~


she is a left-hander too but has no problem at all picking this up...
taught her how to hook a few months ago and she is now enjoying working on her first crow rug too!
 I've been playing with paper clay  ~
creating crazy things like this:


hello dearie

she will be a wizened old Witch...
the years have not been good to her ~


troublesome times have put their marks on her haggard face

she is beautiful in my eyes though!


old crone

she does have a rather large beak, does she not?


oh that schnoz!

all that fine detail will come to life more once she is painted and aged...
she will have a full head of hair and will be clothed
although she is just a 
'bust' doll...


wrinkles, warts & pox

 she will have piercing blown-glass eyes
and she even has pierced ears that will be adorned with ear bobs made from
antique Victorian Mourning jewelry parts in my collection....



see you soon, my Pretties...

hoping this 
H U M I D I T Y
goes away soon...

I hate it and it makes for rather-slow drying of my clay work...
be back soon with the finished photos of her :)


* Blessed be *

Your witch sculpture is AMAZING! I love how realistic she looks. Congrats to Patti on learning to stitch - she'll be hooked in no time. ;-)
