Remember her?
Probably not....She's Griselda, my Nifty Fifty doll...I made her to celebrate my 50th birthday almost three years ago. And when I finished Griselda I started on her BFF, Fanny Fandango:
At some point, I ran out of ideas for Fanny, and she languished around the beading area half-conceived, half abandoned. I placed on the end table near the couch recently so I could look at her periodically to see if anything revealed itself. Last weekend, I put a few beads on her...quite a few actually...and this morning I got an idea of how to do her hair and how to decorate her legs. Here's what Fanny looks like today:
Her hair won't look like that, I was just trying materials t o see if I want something other than just beads. I do. The strings you see are leftovers from ripping and crocheting cloth into rugs. I figure I might as well use it and it seems to suit Fanny's outrageous personality. I won't spill my ideas for her legs as I need to do some testing to see if I'll like what I think I'll do. But, at least Fanny is getting attention. Poor old girl has been very patient, she deserves to be finished.
Finally finished a bead embroidered cuff that I've been working on for AGES. I call it Citrus Punch.
Not the best side pictures, but you get the idea. I used my own glass cabochons created in my own kiln and various yellow and red beads. I've noticed that a lot of my cuffs are red/yellow/orange...tired of those colors. So, my next cuff is black, white and red with silver accents. It's a very commanding piece! I'm about halfway done with it, so maybe pictures the end of this weekend.
