To-do List: Obi-inspired belt

I've been needing/looking for a cool, wide belt, but nothing's been jumping out at me and I'm resolved to make my own using fabrics from my stash. I have a great flame orange that I think will be my core fabric. Gonna use this pattern (tho not the leather Grandmother's Flower Garden patchwork.)

I bought these with the intention of making postcards; upon reflection, however, I'm not positive I want to give them up... (becoming attached is always the risk, isn't it?!)

I am powerless to resist tiny plastic deer.

Things I gave my mom: mother's day ATC

I think I just like making tiny things... sort of like closed room mysteries, maybe? Within the constraints of the form, the mind is free?

Things I gave my mom: creepy doll painting

It's no wonder I was not my figure drawing professors favorite student... I think this may have happened after about 2 months of the BORINGEST NAKED MODEL EVER. 1996-ish.

Things I gave my mom: nine patch quilt

hand pieced and quilted; I think this may be my very first quilt project. 2002?
