I've Been Playing

I've been playing, as you can see.  Playing with mixing fabric on a base to create a foundation for this art doll. 

Playing with stitches - this one and that one - running stitch, French knots, seed stitch, buttonhole stitch. 

I have been threading my needle with all manner of threads - wool, silk, cotton - taking the time to savor each and every one of them.

    This is starting to look like a doll, a very interesting and lovely one at that (also in my favorite colors). I love the combination of stitches and layers, very delicate. The little book is so sweet, I want to touch it. I'm eager to see a face!
