MY FANCY NEW HAT

I used to wear a "necklace"  made of leftover doll body parts when I did art shows. It was always a big hit. Since I had to start over anyway, when I came across a really cool straw hat marked down to a $ I decided that would be my new show off piece.  I made mini pieces depicting my current projects:  Owls, Dia de los Muertos cats & faces, little weed fairies, Kokopelli, and a bunch of little geckos running all around.  I'll ad more as time goes by, but this will be fun to wear at the Crane Festival.

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

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.
