To understand why I've posted these fun fairies, you need to read
Cyn's comment on my MAGIC projects. I wasn't going to put up any pictures, and now one of the 4 has already disappeared somehow. Cyberspace.
Oh well here I am shaming myself, but I'm among friends, right? Since you asked, I pledged all 4. :0 Now before you go questioning my judgment or worse yet, my sanity, I really didn't think I would be able to finish these fluttering fairies in time for November's meeting. I planned on writing a check for them all along...."yes, that's the ticket," all along! I tried getting the Easter season done, but, alas, not this year.
These not so little projects are very cute and you really do learn several techniques. I liked the materials used too; they're fun, I just have found
other things I want to do. I am glad my good camera's memory stick was full otherwise you'd really get a gander at how these orphans haven't been in the most protective environment. I think these are from '03. Here's a thought: I could just stitch the central motif and matte the rest? Would that be cheating?
By the way, if you need something to stitch, I'll pay the postage! As far as the other pledged projects, believe me, I've counted how many lines I have to stitch daily on that rooster to ensure completion! Don't ask!
LOL! Wish me luck.

I think these are darling myself. And Dorothy Lesher is very creative and does fun pieces. I'd love to do something of hers one day myself. So I hope you finish them.
ReplyDeleteI just love fairies!

Yes Jane, I have always thought they were too cute and Mrs. Lesher is a fantastic teacher. I would be lucky to be able to take another class from her; don't hesitate if you ever get a chance. Thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteHi Madonna,
ReplyDeleteThese are just too cute!
Hmmm... you can finish just the central design and then finish them with a circular mat but you'll be cutting off part of the fairy wings. Try it by cutting up a piece of paper as if it was a mat and see what you think.
I have to admit I would have to finish the cute Halloween Fairy! :-)

Hi Cyn,
ReplyDeleteI'm seriously considering doing the round mat, thanks for the suggestion about trying it with paper first. Good idea. The wings are done out of organza then braid is couched down around the outline of the wing. I think I could do this with the wing overlapping the circle of the mat. I'd have my mat cut first, then apply the wing. That might work? Will keep you posted....ahem. :)
