Art Doll



The weather is still pretty cold and wet so today I had a day of creativity.

First I sorted through my scraps and fibres I keep for felting and embellishing.





My friend Norma had asked me to make her a brooch:  the order was for a "doll" brooch, mainly red in colour and featuring a paint pallet.  So here it is.
 
  
It is not a good pic but you can see the little pallet.

I used my embellisher for most of this and luckily I had everything I needed in  my stash.

Winter is an ideal time to get on with special projects.

Your brooch looks great. I can agree it is perfect indoor weather too. The doogie and I froze going for a walk at 8am this morning and someone up top also decided to spit on us too lol. Good thing we were rugged up in our winter woolies.

Lovely brooch Diane, I am sure your friend will love it. Cold and horrible weather up here too so I am definitely staying indoors. cheers

What a cutie this one is Dian, with her little paint palette. I love your little art doll brooches, and know it will be appreciated by your friend. Weather a little on the miserable side here too.
