Unmotivated?
Well, I started this project a long time ago, had all the pattern pieces and eyes picked out, plastic bead stuffing bought and everything pinned together…and, well, put into a bag and stashed in my closet. Then I finally set up one of my sewing machines to make a blackout curtain so I decided to get to work.
I love the pattern, but next time I will alter it a lot, as there are lots of problems with it, notably the arms and legs are too skinny (and I couldn’t even turn the ears right way out) and there isn’t any neck to attach body to head. The solid pink fabric is wool, the floral body is print cotton, vintage fabrics from my costuming days.
I do like her, and she will find a home somewhere in this house.

Wow! I had no idea you were such an artist! (I’m a regular at modblog) I really love your paintings. Do you ever do commissions or anything?

THanks
Both Caitlin and I do commissions from time to time, yeah. This entry is her work, most of the painting entries (but not all) are mine (you can tell by the author credit).
