New home for FLIP

 
Kel had all the felt and material out, so it was quick and easy to whip up one of these wee jobbies after I finished the "flag portion" of the afternoon (pictures to follow-- my flags are all drying right now). Made me want to do more embroidery. Clearly I need the practice. (finished dimensions ~ 5"x3")

Sweather skirts

 
 
 
 
My newest craze.... these are super comfortable and warm. Now that it is snowing and cooler, these rock!

Halloween Craftiness

 
 
 
For Fenna I made everything but her dress (a Winners find from last year). So: cape, cape for Momo, and wee Princess of Hearts "Card". For Hamish I made his entire bat costume, which was inspired from a design Lynne pulled off the internet for her bat, Fiona. Face paint for the mask worked really well. The kids and I were really pleased!

Hundertwasser Head

One of my newest idols is Freidensreich Hundertwasser, a crazy swiss dude/ artist/ environmentalist/ sailor/ free thinker/ architect/ landscape designer/ graphic artist. He's dead now (aren't they all) but his work lives on and I encourage you to google him. His stuff combines the best of Matisse, Klee, Klimt, and any other funky, happy work you can think of. I designed this fused glass head from one of his postage stamps... tipped the hat to let the fish out, but otherwise, his idea. I was very pleased with it, and Kiki fell in love with the piece, and with his work, so she bought it from me for a cool $200. A steal, but she is family, and one of my biggest supporters and cheerleaders. The Hundertwasser piece is 30"x 20". The angel and the butterfly are small christmas tree ornaments (1"x3").
