I have even added a few little wonky houses, houses are on my mind lately. So much inspiration from Jude Hill...note the layering of the fabrics. I dont have any sheer silks (yet!!!!) but have been working with what I have in my stash. Jude is running some wonderful online classes and yes, I'm signed up! 
What a lovely surprise this week to receive a swap package from Mary Stanley of ArtSpirit in the mail. I just loved her owls and we decided to do a swap.... and now have my own "Woolly Owl". He is very dapper dont you think? He sits quietly chatting to a wee owl who is soon to fly overseas to a friend. Mary sent more wonderful goodies for me, but my photography this morning was not too good....everything was blurry when I checked it out tonight and too dark tonight take another. Maybe another time I will photograph them again.
Woolly owl by Mary Stanley.
I just love the art of Magaly Ohika of the Itsy Bitsy Spill and a little while back purchased this little set of painting (acrylic with charcoal on watercolour paper). I love the whimsy of her art. You should check out her blog, she is now making the most quirky and gorgeous pouchies....yes, have one on my 'wishlist'. Click on photo for a closer look.I hope you have all had a lovely week!
TEACH LOVE,

ReplyDeleteYour slow cloth is coming along beautifully. Love your delicate stitching. And your wonky houses are gorgeous(and quirky). The owl Mary sent you is beautiful (looks very tactile and cuddly too). I look forward to seeing your owl from Mary in person ; and to showing you the bird she made me:).
So pleased you are doing Jude's classes. I know you will enjoy them.
Checked out the link to the artist you bought from. Colorful and whimsical work!

Love from me and the kitties.
