Other Stuff

I have finally finished a pillow case for Allie's extra bed. I added red lacey stuff to edge and the embroidery. I am also working on an apron. Here is a sneak peek ...

30 Day Challenge Officially Starts

My clay challenge has begun! Each day I will work for about 30 minutes on a quick clay 'sketch' ...some might be planned and some will be whatever happens.

The photo I have here is the beginning of a miniature version of a garden sculpture. This is the base with some inner supports to help hold the head. The sculpture is a stylized figure of a woman. Stay tuned to see how this progresses.

I'm sewing a shirt...

Yesterday I became obsessed with handmade funky clothes and decided that I could sew clothing. I hate shopping for clothes and we only have two stores in town. So I went to my local store, bought a simple pattern and some fabric. Whoa! Did I get myself into something crazy. First off, the sizes on patterns vs. ready-made are dramatically different. Based on 'Simplicity' size I am off the chart. I hadn't realized I was so fat. Second, I insisted I needed this really cool orangey-rust stripe KNIT. Okay, I knew the knit might be interesting to work with but ...geez...it is so hard. Anyway, here is the project, I hope to finish it tomorrow.

These are some artist trading cards from several years ago that I never traded.

Robot Doll

This is my latest creation about 2 months too late for Christmas. The robot theme was stolen from my sister. Oops, my foot is in the picture and it is sideways. Sorry. I only have about 45 minutes of free time for stuff like this. If you are wondering about the clay sketch challenge...I really am going to start that soon. Hmmm.
