I then bought it on Amazon. When I was in the Young Embroiderers guild we made a cushion cover with one of her angels on the front and I loved the style but didn't know who the designer was. I then tried making a doll - this is my unfinished first attempt:
 |
| Sample doll - the arms and apron is wrong. |
 |
| Doll and book |
 |
| Doll and book again |
I'm pleased with it so far, just need to do some tweeking with the stitching and paint on the shoes, face and embroider the hair =] On Sunday I am going on a trip to London with Uni and then on Thursday I am going to Northern Ireland for my Granny's 80th! I cant wait for both but I am a little nervous about getting lost in London! But seeing the fabric shops and the designers studios should be great :D

Erin, your doll is lovely and I know that when you are finish she will be incredible. When it comes to art . . . never work for perfection. Perfection and art are mortal enemies. Art needs to come from the soul, with it's little dimples and pimples that make life what it is. Free!!! I really like your yarn balls, too. I am honored to be your first follower. Keep making art. My advice is let yourself be free and never, never, never get into a mold that others would put you in. Rules might be needed in our daily living, but never in our art. Connie :)
