One of the nice things about paper clay is that you can go back and apply water at any time before it is sealed and make adjustments and add features. I played with the doll head a bit. She still needs some smoothing and some sanding (if I bother to get any sand paper), but now she has eyes and a little hair (which I may carve right off, but her head will be mostly covered anyway).
While I was playing with the clay, I decided to make her a cat. Don't laugh. I'm calling them primitives. :) Goes right along with the rest of my shabby style of raw edges.
I am going to have to put all of this aside for now and return to Easter projects. Time is growing short. Mila's crown and the embroideries await.
Here is a great quilty link: Barbara Reskin, a sociology professor, makes pocket quilts for homeless children. The quilts keep the children warm, the pockets provide storage for their belongings.
Love the kitty =-) I know our blogs were started as quilting blogs but mine is not anymore...it just isn't...There are so many things that go on in my life that I have decided it is just a blog...a life blog...I love yours, no matter the content! =-)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to see clothes + quilt (why not make one for the cat, too...?) - a great link, indeed - I have a few pockets somewhere, + I´m going to search for them...
ReplyDeleteDebby - Blogs evolve don't they? Everything in my life runs in cycles, and I'm constantly moving from one to another. There has been a long hiatus from quilting and crafting in general, now I'm fascinated with dolls again.
ReplyDeleteger - Maybe I will make one for the cat; thanks for the suggestion. I had plenty of pockets before the move, but took most of Fee's shirts to Goodwill. But I'll be on the look out for some to send because it is a great idea.
