I love this little guy. Reminds me of a toy I made for my son years ago. Are those just circles of the felted sweaters? Or did you sew them in on themselves. Very, very cute. And I’d love to come visit your studio. Someday. It would be wonderful to meet you in person. The B&W pictures are ethereal, and I hope you keep them coming. We’re having a rainy day, so you know I’m happy. Thanks for the fun post. Patsye
Patsye,
The doll is made from circles of felted sweaters, no turning in necessary. I’ve done it before with cotton circles, which do need to be turned in, very labor-intensive. The doll I had as a child was made that way, from cotton circles.
You are in the rain. : )
Though it’s bright and sunny here, we are expecting a winter snow / ice storm here tomorrow.
Wishing you a productive day!
Katharine
I keep showing up for more posts, but find you are busy somewhere else. Hope all is well with you, and that you are not snowed under. Have a wonderful day. Thinking of you. Patsye
Patsye,
Thanks for stopping by. I wish I had something new posted here for you, but other aspects of life have intervened. I’ll try to get something up soon!
