Update........

It's been a while since I posted anything.....lots happening in my life.
Last week I took myself up Ben Lomond alone on Bob's birthday (he would have been 64). It was such a beautiful magical day: warm and sunny considering it is mid-winter here. I walked to the top and just enjoyed the day.......put some stones on his cairn; breathed the pure air; felt the sun and wind on my face. Healing.

And here are a few things that I have been working on:

A Little Tousle-headed Tot

Another Take

Some years ago, I made a small 3D interpretation of Vermeer's "Girl With A Pearl Earring":

At the time, I really enjoyed the process, and I've had it in the back of my mind to have another go at it.......possibly with a slightly more mature look to the "girl".

Here is the progress of the new piece;

I have a few more famous paintings in mind........."Lady With Ermine", "La Gioconda"......which might stand similar treatment.

Little Lizzie

Just-completed cloth toddler doll - Little Lizzie

Twelve

"Sorrydoll" #11

Here is the recently completed Eleventh Sorrydoll............this one seems to have a still thoughtful, but less sad countenance. I'm moving on! The last picture is of Eleven with her unfinished "pale sister".....Twelve, of course!

Creating Elena.........

This is "Elena" - a new doll I've been working on this week.

A New Baby

This new cloth baby is just one sweet handful. She sits about 6" high and has jointed hips, shoulders and neck. I made the rompers from some pale green bamboo knit fabric - really fine and soft and lovely to work with (I had never used this type of fabric before) her bootees are crochet and the jacket and hat are knitted in 4-ply pure wool. I used just a little dusty pink embroidery .
