Asian Ox experiment

new Asian Ox photos: Experimenting with different color and stitching technique. Beverly's ran out of the color I wanted, so I used this "cashmere tan" felt.

aproximately 6 inches in length

regular stitching: horn revision:

I'll switch to a thinner thread for the mouth. It looks too bulky for me!

I just hot glued some ivory petals and pinned this flower temporarily:

Asian Felt Ox

Here is a really cool and large project! Felt Asian ox!

Usually I make little felt critters no larger than 2 x 3 inches in size, but this turned out to be a nice challenge for me. The first one is complete, and I have 19 more to go. I'm ready for assembly line production!

origami notecards

new origami notecards:

This set of notecards were made from a roll of handmade paper. I purchased the paper at Cost Plus World Market. They have the most wonderful colorful paper! If you don't have time to make these, these are available for purchase from Etsy store. The paper consists of 100% recycled paper of cotton fabric remnants using traditional silk screen printing technique.

These envelopes are great for gift enclosures, thank you cards, gift card holders or anything you like!

90 sales!!

Woo hoo! My little Etsy store made it to 90 sales! I never thought I would make it past 50 :) Thanks for all your support! I'll try to add some things/experiments in the shop and we'll see what happens. Maybe I'll add some lion finger puppets or finish that sweater purse I've been working 6 months on!

Here are my favorite places to visit!
