Little wooden pieces swap: Due really soon!!!
Re: Little wooden pieces swap: Sign ups closed.
Well, as I said, I've been working on IP's collage and somehow that inspired something to pop out at me with the little wooden doodads. And it's something so totally different from the collage that I don't know where it came from.
I'm sure hoping that Annette doesn't have an aversion to clowns 'cause that's what came to me whilst staring at all the little pieces. I'm calling it "Just Clowning Around". Painted all the pieces white and then made little puffy fabric sleeves and leggings; also gathered white and black lace for collar and skirt. (And thanks to Dani I couldn't throw away the little piece of black lace I had leftover. ); covered the little base with black herringbone fabric for a drum; made drumsticks out of bamboo skewers and beads; hat is made from that b&w Salsa paper. All sitting on a piece of foam core and everything trimmed with black and white bobble fibers.
Now to figure out how to get it to Annette with out it all coming apart!

How AWESOME is that? You are very talented, and a great use of the little wooden pieces! Wonderful!
Re: Little wooden pieces swap: Sign ups closed.
Thanks Jen! Those little pieces stumped me for the longest time and then PAO! it just came to me.
Re: Little wooden pieces swap: Sign ups closed.
very very cool!!!! (and a bit creepy-in a clown kind of way)
Re: Little wooden pieces swap: Sign ups closed.
Wow - this is awesome and funny you should be doing this project at the same time as me! I have not quite finished mine but it is taking shape now.

Really cool Rachelle, and wasn't it fun? I Love it.
Re: Little wooden pieces swap: Sign ups closed.
Great job--and I agree with Christy--little creepy!

Rachelle can say she just got the inspiration, but what she doesn't tell you is that she was playing the youtube video that Luanne dropped on us this morning. LOL He really would fit right in there and not in a creepy way.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU to Lynn Jones. I received my little wooden doodad thing from you today. Very clever! I'm going to have to do a little repair work as the postal service was not kind, but I see how they go together and will post a pic when they get out of the "art" hospital. Thanks again!
