Who would think that making a simple cloth doll would take so many steps (and because of my lack of skill and/or foresight several steps done over several times)?
There was the head which I thought was finished only to discover that it was too narrow for the features to be used. Back to the drawing board. There was a hat that I completely discarded after working on it for several hours -- hated it.
There still lingers arm issues which I finally just 'accepted' with note-to-self to improve that part of my future creations.
I have made many cloth dolls before, but this time I'm feeling quite unsure in creating my own pattern, incorporating features that have to be learned and mastered and in knowing what I want - like reaching into a still pool of water it seems to get disturbed with each reach I take.
Meanwhile I'll continue to make music -- while trying to bring my dreams to life.
