drawing in maude

today when i was at work i mostly knit and looked at the sunshine outside. i finished my third elizabeth zimmerman baby surprise jacket. i need to weave in the ends and sew the two sleeve seems. when those final details are done i'll take a picture and share.
i also started drawing russian dolls. i think they would make very pretty something in fabric.
i'm playing around with the idea of doing several series. starting with mushrooms a-z.
they would of course start with a drawing.....turn into a doll.....and then become a painting. what do you think?
i'm starting after i've finished my dinner. which i'm eating now.
see you soon.

new mushrooms

there are a few new shapes that have been added to the assortment. see if you can pick them out.

mushroom family

oh boy! i have had he most wonderful week. i took the mushroom men to maude on friday. i had such a positive response that as soon as i got done with work on saturday i started a whole new batch. cute as they may be on their own....in a cluster nestled on the couch they totally make me die. so here are some pictures of happy mushroom families.
enjoy!

my favorite mushroom man

spores of cuteness

i just finished 6 new mushroom men. all different shapes and sizes. oh how i would love to keep them all.
they are to maude with me tomorrow along with 5 new kitties. i will miss them.
i have 5 more on my work table. they will have to wait to sunday when i have time to play with my piles of felt.

a few more trees

trees

here is a little sample of trees and lovely colours. they average 14" in height and are weighted so they can stand. my favorite way to display then is hanging on the wll next to an owl or gnome.
