DIA DE LOS MUERTOS GATOS

Last year I made several dolls and cats for this Mexican holiday and was delighted that they were so popular at Christmas Bazaar! They of course all went up in flames when our home burned in January.  Now with the Holidays coming, a friend has invited me to put some work in the bazaar here in Monte Vista the first weekend in November, so re-designed a new bunch of cats. Plan to write pattern at a later date, when I have time. Takes a lot to get back to "normal". One thing have not been able to do is access my old Blog:   laura-lunsford.blogspot.com
So finally gave up and created this new one.  You can still go to the "old" blog if you want to see some of my past work.  Meanwhile 2017 creations start here!  Thanks for looking...I do have fun making stuff & love to share.

PAINTED KITTY

While "organizing" I realized still had another cat to paint...which was my original plan. Since the snow has finally hit, need to work inside, so decided it was time paint. Did the designs in bright colors, then used a watered down wash for the rest of the body. This was my original plan, but as often happens, after doing the black & whites, I wandered off.  I am so organized!!!LOL

CARIBBEAN PIRATES

Felt it was time to try to make "real" doll....thanks to contributions have gathered enough supplies. Since it's been over a year, it took a bit to get back in the groove, but once I got started couldn't stop. I had 3 heads: liked them all, so wound up making 3 Pirates!

KITTY KITTY

Image
This was another fun project. After making the Dia de los Muertos cats, I decided a more "regular" cat might be good.  I had made little neck bags with painted cats on them, so my idea was to enlarge as a "doll".  When I got into it the plan was to paint in bright colors, but instead went with black & white.  For color just made in a printed fabric.  Started out as just a "flat" cat to hang on the wall, then decided to stuff, so cat sits. It's the same pattern, but using different fabrics, and stuffing get entirely different looks. The Black & white on left is stuffed. For other 2 I used batting.  Right now they are in box waiting to make their debut at Crane Festival.
