As you can see the little knitted people won out.... I had been debating whether to put them in or not, but I think they add a fun element to these pages and Magda's book is all about coming out to play.
My photography is not the best, but I wanted to try and get a close up so you can see the stitching and embellishing. The page is finished, but still needs binding....mmmm ..... I am still pondering that one!
Linda.... this next pic is for you. One of the faces I have done in my Suziblu online class. Make sure you pop over and visit Linda's blog to see the wonderful art she is creating in these classes! She is a little ahead of me.... I will post a pic next week of my finished girl (with body!!!!).
Below are the first lot of preliminary sketches I did in week one.... lots more practice needed, but some very valuable lessons from Suzi in the classes....Lots of fun and proceed at your own pace. I like that.
Have a fun week.... I am going to practice, practice, practice these faces and finish off my bigger piece for next week to show you (this way I have to finish it AND I have to show it on my blog whether I am happy with it or not).Take care.........

Oh Jacky - I LOVE your pages for Magda! You have done such a wonderful job. I enlarged each photo so I could see the detail. You have been very busy stitching! Such lovely details.
The faces on your little girls are adorable (you draw the most perfect faces). Love their hair too.
I know Magda will be thrilled with your page. Cannot wait to see it up close :).
Your pages are full of life and joy. Just gorgeous!
And thankyou for sharing your girl drawing. You are a natural illustator and I am sure your faces will get even better with practise. The one you shared is fantastic.
Lovely to chat to you yesterday. I always get off the phone feeling happy after our chats.
Take care of yourself.
Thinking of you

I didn't know you were taking Suzi's class. Your face is adorable.
Hi Jacky, great post. I visited last week but my fingers weren't in a talking mood. Your fabric pages are always so wonderful.
Now, about the fall, sounds like you may be pretty scruffed up and yes my hobbling around with you...well we would be hoot, wouldn't we. Hope you recoup fast. I'll be thinking about you.
the knit dolls are just tooo cute... I would love to try that.
p I can scrumble..think of it as yarn collage. I made a hunge blanket out of scrumbles..check the blog about year ago. It is easy.. just knit or crochet any way you want and keep adding and adding and adding...

Hi Jacky your fabric pages are always so beautiful and the little knitted dolls are a perfect addition. I love your face sketch. Belinda
Jacky! I love your sweater people, they are adorable! And your faces are fantastic. I can't wait to see what you do next!
Fabulous creations. I especially love the little knitted people. Your face sketch is just beautiful.
Jacky, i'm so glad you chose to add the knitted people. they are simply adorable. great idea, which i'm sure many of us artists will be 'copying'.
beautiful piece of work
The details on these pieces are wonderful! Joyful, whimsical, bouncy!
I love your fabric pages....and I also impressed with the face of the doll.
I love your drawing of the girl. It reminds me of someone else's work I like a lot.....Mark Ryden. His stuff isn't for everyone, but your figure reminds me of the way he does his. I think it's a compliment :)
Love your pages! The knitted people are perfect and the colours you've chosen.....just right.
Love the little knitted people Jacky - they really make those pages!
I love the fabric pages! You bring creativity to a whole new level...So inspiring but not sure that I can even begin to keep up!!! That knitted dress...Amazing. Love from Camilla
