For many years I traveled to teach cloth dollmaking as well as taught from my home studio. I took time off for my health and now I find myself branching out into other arts and mediums as well as returning to those techniques I taught years ago, even before my dollmaking days. Needle and Ribbon Embroidery are just one example. I want to work on more mixed media pieces beginning with a canvas, as well as designing more dolls. It feels great to be back in the saddle again!
New Doll! New Doll! Okay, a variation of my Paisley Praise. I taught this in Georgia a week ago and didn't attach her wings before coming home. Then a doll club asked if when I teach their club if I could offer an alternative to creating an angel as some members don't "do" angels. So, I left the doll without the wings and will adapt the pattern to include the doll seated with her hands in her lap as she cradles a small bird or some similar lovely.
Let me know what you think. I think these colors are scrumptious!
