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?

Things I gave my mom: Mini quilt

Free hand piecing and quilting; I have always loved keeping (or finding) scraps and using them in my projects - the mini-quilts combine that with quick-to-finish extra goodness. Also, I need to hoard my Kaffee Fassett fabrics!

Vintage craft book challenge, project 1


Snail & Mushroom, originally uploaded by luluincognito.

I decided that I would justify my obsession with vintage craft books by making at least one project from each. This one is also my first attempt at real crewel embroidery. I dislike coral stitch... I probably just need practice.

Another older piece, part of my playing catch up project. Not a very good photo... Even though I say this is "done" there is still something... something about this that needs... something. It drives me crazy on a regular basis

A dream; Act I

And (finally), the final piece... Still working on a better title. The rider portion previously posted refered to as "Fairy Tale Circus Rider" - descriptive, but still not cutting it.

Book, found doo dads (buttons! bones! TEETH!), velvet, plastic figures, glitter, moss, tin.
