Wrapped wire armature...

I was cleaning the craft room.....came across some wire stems I’d saved from silk flowers used for something else.
 I bent and twisted the wires into a body shape, wrapped it with floral tape, then with strips of polyester batting; then wrapped legs and lower body with a strip of nylon organza fabric. Stood her in a weighted bottle, pinned on a head (from my stash of  ‘parts’), pinned on some wool-roving for hair, draped her with a piece of silky blouse fabric, and Voila! An art piece!!!

  Well, it’s a beginning..... We'll see what happens......

Spot drew your name on this one.

 I hope you enjoy using this pattern for a nativity set. Please send me a picture when you have finished it. ;)

Horsing around again!

Well, I have done a bit of doll-making, of sorts, this summer. Here is a little group of lapel pins I just finished. Spot found them just too tempting to resist very carefully reaching out to just touch one.

Some of them are recycled silk ties.

Free pattern for nativity set figures

My June givaeaway is so late getting posted, that this one will run for June and July! And for something different, I am giving one copy of my CD pattern for the Nativity Set. Alas, NOT the finished dolls! This will be drawn for on August 1st, so you should have time to use this pattern for all 9 figures to create your own unique set of bottle-cover dolls, or to create a wonderful gift, by Christmas.
