Stanettes?

I thought I would have a go at making girl "Sitting Stanleys". Should I call them "Stanettes"?!

........ keep watching the birdie!

This is closer to what is in my head, but I definitely need to make those wings separately and stuff them before I stitch them on.

I especially like his vest/waistcoat!

Did I tell you that I was making this for the first and last Art Dolls Only quarterly challenge of 2012?

And did I tell you that Art Dolls Only has been re-invented and the new fan page can be found here?

Tagging along!

I inspired myself with my Tags for Tuesday, and carried on to make these little art dolls from scraps of felt and recovered computer wire.

Latest Stanley

Here's my latest sitting Stanley. I plan to follow him up with a little girl Stanley made in a similar way.

Keeping fit!

I made this for Marianne, the trainer for cardiac rehab. I have been creaking and groaning through the sessions since before Christmas. Her "uniform" is red sweatshirt and black joggers. Marianne is about to retire and it is her birthday this week. I wanted to give her something personal to say thank you for the care and dedication she has put into her work. The doll looks like Marianne, she wears her long hair in plaits when she is working!
