Water Colour Sketches, Collages & machine Embroidery Updates on Etsy.

Woken up to a very foggy day, so Molly and I are waiting for it to clear a bit before walking out. We are turning into fair weather walkers in our later years!

My Etsy shop looks nice and bright and full of exciting art creations. These are the latest additions.

Machine embroidered, layered and collaged - Aunt Phyllis 1937 

1930's Water colour & pen sketches.

Collages with many layers of glaze & paint too. 

I sold several of these at the Pop-Up Shop.

Stitched Collage in paper.

2012 was a very productive year for me. Another lot to list today, looking at the weather I think that will be my main task.

Update on the Retro Divas - I am working on a pattern, instructions and kit to launch for these. All the fabrics in the kit will come from vintage and reclaimed sources. So no two dolls will be the same.

The girls are very excited!!!

Indie & Aurelia More Happy Scrappy Dolls

Phew just finished number 5&6 in time for a visit to The Chelmsford Community Pop-up Shop Tomorrow. I hope they are going to have room for me to squeeze these in on my cushions stand. At least the dollies will be nice and comfy there.

Number 5 is Indie as she has lovely blue hair and Indigo is a blue dye.

Here she is sitting on some of my vintage cushions, with Pompii my Teddy bear. I've had him since I was 6 months old. He came to visit the  Ideas Hub last week.

A close up of Indie's face, she has little hearts for her cheeks and cotton bullion fringe for her hair. I think this fringing makes super doll hair.

This is number 6 Aurelia, she has yellow highlights and aurelion is a yellow colour. I have it in my watercolour paints. She's sitting with Blue Ted, I've had him since I was about 2. They are also on some of my handmade cushions.

Aurelia has little bunches - really tassels on furniture fringing. I'm having lots of fun with the fringing you can make loads of different styles with it.

So it's off to be sold for these two and number 3&4. Hope they make someone happy this Christmas.
