Happy Friday
~ Friends & Folk ~
ಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊ
so here I am, working on multiple projects at once,
...again.
I have to give my hands a break from doing one form of needlework for a long period of time,
and lately that has been punch needle ~
you've seen my Claudia Cluck doll,
and know I'm working on her friend Roberta...
but my hands hurt so badly sometimes ~ that all I can manage to do is slow stitching.
my work varies greatly within the mediums of my needles...
punch-work is fun, quick and offers lots of room for whimsical-ness.
Where embroidery gives me more freedom to use thread colors and stitches ~
so many tiny little loops!
so many tiny little stitches!!
...while Roberta is resting,
my tiny kitten is coming to life.
I've finished filling her in,
detailed her eyes, nose & mouth ~
and added more depth to her silk ribbon bow...
now I've begun stitching a 'ground' of sorts upon where she sits.
those blue spots will disappear with a spritz of water
{ALWAYS use color-fast threads!!}
and those pencil-lines will be covered with my stitches.

I have a small antique black oval tin frame that she will live in once finished ~
but she still needs a name...any suggestions?
