Monday Musings

 Remember this manipulated piece of raw silk from last fall?

I've cut it up and used it to make a bodice and sleeves for a new doll (well, a doll that was in progress from several months ago).  Then I added an encrusted piece.
Then I began adding beads to the sleeves.

I worked on this while watching Episode One of Arang & the Magistrate--a romantic comedy about a ghost who has lost her memory and the handsome, but cynical magistrate who can see ghosts--

Arang & the Magistrate is a lot of fun, and I can work on tedious things with pleasure while watching.

  2. Stephie - Thanks! Most of the stuff I do has no real purpose at the time, but eventually, I find a way.

    I have several ideas for the encrusted pieces, but I din't know if I'd ever use the manipulated raw silk. It was mostly a form of meditation at the time--now I'll do more!
