So I finally finished up a pair of earrings I was working on. I have never made a pair of cloth earrings before so it was challenging to figure out how to attach the ear wires.

These are tiny - like pin dolls. They measure apx. 2.5". There faces are cloth over clay and they are hand beaded.

The picture came out slightly darker than they really are.

Hello!

I am just hanging out today to see what Yvette is working on next.

I hear she is in a bear making mood so we will see what is next!

Perhaps a new friend for me!! Yipee!!

And Speaking of gourds - come and see my friend Lisa's new gourd doll.

(Ok we weren't speaking of gourds - but now we are :o)

This is my third and fourth attempt at making these.

The pink one is made from cardstock, tissue paper, lace ribbon, beads and a bit of fabric.

I sewed the beads and fabric on. Her face is made out of air dry clay.

She has been enhanced with markers.

Bubba the cowboy is a photo of my dog.

I wanted to do something in a different color scheme (I tend to stay with pinks, blacks and fall colors - can't you tell LOL) so saw the boots in orange and yellow and started from there.

The shirt, hat and pants were printed on my computer from my print shop software.

I couldn't find a face that I liked so used Henry's.

I colored the objects with colored pencils and markers.

My family thinks I'm crazy but I am having so much fun with these.

I went shopping at Michael's for supplies on Saturday and ended up with nothing. There were so many papers and neat stuff to choose from that I couldn't decide LOL
