Playtime

Alright so I finally got something done! These were quick snapshots I took outside under a tree..thus the dappled light. These were each done very intuitively without any real planning. Just a lot of messy playtime!An assemblage of my Doodle Birds on a vintage grater. Each bird image is cut from it's original paper then collaged with more paper on a small piece of wood and wired onto the grater.

Swap

I just sent this out yesterday for a Recycled/No Spend Dotee doll swap. She is made from fused plastic bag "fabric". This nice blue is from a Best Buy and a Festival Foods bag. The lighter colored face is a white bag layered over a blue bag. She turned out larger than I planned but I like her.

The plastic "fabric" sews fine on the machine but it is difficult to hand sew. So, I did have some trouble hand stitching the face to the body. I used netting left from our wedding almost 17 yrs ago. The yarn pieces are from an old wool sweater I unravled and dyed with Kool Aid. The rest is just bits and pieces I had around.
