Art Day

I had a hankering to create another needle punch piece, but I didn't know what to make. Just off the top of her head, my daughter suggested a lion, so I sketched out a lion in foliage, slightly abstract so that his mane looks like the sun. And then I transfered it to the cotton and went to work. The finished piece is about 3 x 5 inches. I'm not sure what to do with it now. It can be framed or stitched into a decorative pillow. For now, it just sits in a pile of stuff.

I would like to keep making stuff in this craft form, but I don't want to collect 3 x 5 images that I'll never do anything with. The next step is to find a design style that matches my house and make something suitable. Hmmm.

I like him!!!

They should be on display...not in a pile of stuff.

I love it! You are right - a larger scale project but in smaller pieces so that you can stitch them together perhaps - a wall hanging?

This is so cool, Robyn. I love his mane and the fact that he's just sneaking a look around the edge of the picture at us.

Cindy Loo Who In October

What is it with people and Cindy Loo Who? Of my last one hundred blog hits, forty have been direct visits from regular readers, and fifteen have been as a result of people searching for "Cindy Loo Who," the little pixie from Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas . A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively. Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations. When my sister and I were much younger and still living with our parents, we would pick a day in July, close the curtains to darken the ...
