Back before tour frenzy hit the studio,
I gave you a little
hint of what I was working on.
Remember this?
I finished them on the Saturday of the tour and hung them on
the doors separating our
living space from the studio.
I am sorry it has taken me so
long to show you the results.
They didn’t get much reaction on the tour to my
disappointment but I love how they turned out! One person told me they were
“too spooky”.
Hmm…I didn’t think they
were that spooky.
I found the spider fabric in her skirt, in an Asheville
fabric store and loved it on sight.
From that point on I just made them up as I
went along which is how I like to work.
They were labor intensive with lots of
steps along the way, but I am very happy with them.
You would not have to hang
them on a door; it could be a cupboard or a wall.
I don’t have individual names for them, all I could think of
was “Door Greeters”.
Yeah, I know not very creative.
The lady pumpkin greeter is made with my own hand-dyed wool
fabric, embroider face, “moth wings” with stitched covered wire for shaping,
vintage buttons and belt ring on back for a hanger, black netting slip, and her
own little stitched black kitty.
The gentleman pumpkin greeter is also made with my hand-dyed
wool fabric, embroidered face, “bat wings” with stitched covered wire for
shaping, vintage buttons and belt ring,
and his own little stitched pumpkin.
Now I am brimming with ideas on others to make! How about a
strawberry or tomato head or Uncle Sam/Lady Liberty or Santa/Snowman?
The list
could go on forever.
What do you think?
Should I make more of them?
Is this something anybody else would go crazy over
like I have?
Feedback is important to me.
I get wrapped up into my own world
and need to hear what other people think.
Thanks to everyone who made a comment about our losing
Monica.
It helped so much. I appreciate each and every one of you.
It is going
to take time to adjust to not having a dog in the house for the first time.
We
will love again one day when the time is right, and we meet that special little
soul that needs a loving fur-ever home.
