Yesterday afternoon I put on
The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio (can't remember whose blog suggested this movie, by I put it on my Netflix que some time back) at about 4:00 and worked frantically on my needle felting in attempt to finish up. Later, I watched
Heroes and
Studio 60, continuing my frantic progress. I've worked on this project for days and couldn't figure out
why I continued trying to make
7 of them as they were obviously not going to work and would, eventually, be discarded. Then, on the final step, everything came together, and the silly, gaudy things worked.
This is a mystery photo because you can't tell what they really are, but they are both flamboyant and useful, silly and functional. Now, I must get on to finishing the post cards that will accompany them.

Are we supposed to guess? Are they pin cushions? Whatever they are, they are bright. Glad they turned into what you wanted them to.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly look fun and colorful!
ReplyDeletewell I have a soft spot for silly gaudy things - though it often appalled my mother, it seems like now my affection will be just the ticket :)
ReplyDeleteI am developing a perverse fondness for these non-pictures, as well ...
Your needle felting is lovely and bright. I hope you share the whole piece sometime.
ReplyDeleteI have trouble with word verification also, and it makes me feel old and incompetent when I screw it up. I am neither, but it is annoying. Jen
They are bright and colorful, and I think they are fun. When I have everything else finished and in the mail, I'll show you what the silly things are. :0
ReplyDeleteOhhh, whatever they are, I love the pretty colors!! =-) I'm patiently awaiting their reveal...
ReplyDelete:0 Hope no one is disappointed, but they were fun to make, and I ended up being pleased with them.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the movie, but have read the book "Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio." I've never won a contest like that, but I kinda feel like I am supporting my family with coupons and rebates. There are so many free after rebate things, that I don't have to waste postage on contests.
