Teddy

So after not making anything for a long time, I got to make several things this past week... and it really felt good. One of them was this cute little teddybear. Way back when Grown Man was Small Boy, I made a faceless teddy with no pattern out of plain fabric and stuffed it rock hard. Not a favorite toy, but I always knew it had potential. I found it and took it apart and remade it from a soft old felted sweater and then stuffed it softly and sewed a minimal face on him... I think he needs a smile. I will fix that this weekend. I like this so much better... squeezable, huggable, soft, and yummy. At least I think so! I will post on the rest of the things I made later.

A Second Post... Just in from Okinawa...

My son being promoted to Lance Corporal, USMC! Not that I am proud or anything... well, okay I am! Josh joined the Corps May of last year, graduating bootcamp in August, then trained in satellite communications. He reported to 1st Marine Air Wing in February, and we are as happy as can be!

Dimensional mood

Just a quick post this am... DH is driving my son back from satcom school, and should be home today... I am excited to see him Funny how his being gone makes me anxious to see him. I did alot of art in the last couple days, so here is a peek at one piece...it has a

doll made of shrink plastic and glossy wings on a backgroun of Tim Holtz' crackle paint. Boy I love the paint, it really doesn't show up on monitor, but it has great texture! I like the dimention of the "silk" flower too. I am in a dimensional mood, I guess.
