A rat! In silver and grey Fortuny fabric, with a little antique lace ascot and a condescending manner.
he considers you briefly, offers a perfunctory farewell
And is off to his castle

I’m working on a new shape, a new creature. For me this is all about persistence: lots of drafts, prototypes , experiments, failures and adjustments. So many failures and adjustments – these are just some:
Over the weekend I felt close enough to the shape I was looking for to cleanup the pattern and try one in good fabric. After a few more pattern refinements and adjustments I finished a little fellow made from beautiful silvery grey Fortuny fabric tonight and I’m going to photograph him in the morning - here’s a little shadow preview of him on an evening stroll through the toadstools.
I’ve just added some new owls and spiders to the shop:
seaton
queen elizabeth II spider
green perching owl (there are some others too)
I finally turned out another bat ( I’ve just added it to the shop). It’s made from beautiful plum kimono silk (courtesy of Stephen Szczepanek). Some of the patching and mending is mine and other stitches are from other hands a long time ago.
I’m also working on new boats (with merry wobbler passengers) and lots of other stuff too. I’m adding new things to the shop every day this week.
There are spiders and lots of new things in the shop.
Estella (bride of pip) is made from the edwardian ball gown. And Melchior has fancy lining in his feathers.
Happy Halloween!
She is silvery. I feel like there should be a rule that if I get a little fabric bird to balance on her glittery toes I should be able to take the rest of the day off. But it doesn’t work that way. Today will be long and I’m making a big mess ( you can see a bit of it here) getting things finished and photographed for the shop. You can join the mailing list or check back here if you’d like to know when new things are available.
They are mostly harmless though and just curious about you.
This girl is quite timid and you mustn’t startle her.
Or she’ll run off and disappear into a dark corner. That’s when you have to worry, when you can’t see them…….. |
