Excitement Abounds!

I'm all smiles lately! Looking all the way back to one of my first posts last July, you'll note that I submitted a photo of a project for possible publication. I had almost forgotten about it but was excited to find out it was included in the March 2009 issue of Soft Dolls and Animals! I found out and ran out to buy a copy... then did a little happy dance right there in the store when I saw my work on a glossy magazine page! Too much fun!
Here it is again... but do blip back to the July 2008 post for more details.

The Babies

An upcoming issue of Soft Dolls and Animals magazine is requesting photo submissions related to the theme, "Babies"... and I'm thinking this one might fit the bill.

This is a pin doll that I made for a shower gift for Sarah, when she was expecting twins, Ruby and Larkin, in June of 2007.

The baby dolls are made using techniques learned from Salley Mavor's book "Felt Wee Folk".

They are 1.5" tall (yes, you read that right) and are made with pipe cleaner armature, wooden bead heads... hand-painted faces, wool felt dresses and bonnets, wool fleece hair. What do you think? Should I send it in?
