pretty bunting ...

this is my second lot of bunting, made for a birthday BBQ ...



I got lost in my fabric stash, finding old friends, and exciting prints, along with some silk too. I chose a delicate rainbow of shades for this 15 flag length...

crafting with my three year olds ....

matty' and daisy's gel pen drawings on a handmade card ... left to right, respectively ....

i love daisy's delicate figure - it has cheeks !



diasy's most involved soft scuplture so far ...

she combined 2 squares of fabric with some sewn together offcuts from goats legs !
then added the butterfly for a face - i love the way she has stiched into all the dots on the butterfly ....



hands-up who still doesn't know how i get anything done?

scruffy dog, doesn't shed ..... house trained ....




i had great fun with this one, inspired after meeting a charming wire fox terrier at the sculpture hut. i used a recycled jacket, two different kids of mohair and leather scraps and beads for her collar.

zoo for you!

i thought you might like to look at this wonderful work
a zoo made by children at the new yeovil HEC where i went with steve and the girls on friday ...the vulture and the siver backed gorilla show great use of fursuit fur scraps, and what a great face that bear has ...

next time we go, i will share some information on working with clay so that hopefully we dont have so many injured animals that we found this week! i might also do some sewing, of course !
