Good Times – serves 2
Ingredients:
1 heaping bag of vintage micro-scraps
1 good friend or loved one
A pinch of beads
A dash of ribbon
A sprinkle of buttons
1-2 hours of silliness
The result? Two funky portraits of me 🙂
My mother in law, Elinor, envisioned me with pink hair and a purple plaid baby in my belly. The fabulous coat shows my vavoom, don’t you think? In my version I have pigtails, a duck knee and a tricky puff-sleeve. Good times.
Insider information for all of you Portland Oregonians, Elinor’s teaching a class on flat dolls with 5 other wacky ladies (all bigtime professional doll designers) over at Fabric Depot in August. Full day, SIX patterns and only $40.
These are Fabulous!!!
those are so cute. I can’t wait to do fun projects like that with my daughter Mia. She’s 20 months old now, so it may be a few more months! Oh, and by the way, thank you so much for the headband pattern. I can’t wait to try it out!
Hi Heather!
I hope you get this message here. I left you one on flickr but just in case you didn’t get it here it is again:
I co-publish mixed media art zine called Portals. We’re just wrapping up our second issue (themed dolls) and I’d love to put this bottom piece in our gallery section if you’re interested. If you are please email me with your location so I can put it in the credits.
I need to know either way by tomorrow as we’re going to print.
Thanks!
Hello,
We are five Swedish girls and we are doing a project in our school. We are writing a book in biology for children in the age of 11 years.
Therefore we wonder if we could use the picture of the straws.
Our book will not be in any other use than our project and will notbe printed in more than 10 copies. We would be pleased for an answer (ASAP).
If there is any questions, or if you want to answer our question, write to Sofie Johansson: sofie_mie@hotmail.com
Thank you!
Sarah Pilblad, Shammeran Benjamin, Kristin Kjellberg, Lara Domi and Sofie Johansson
p.s I think that your pictures are sooo pretty! d.s
