Thanks Nathalia !

LOOK, more goodies!!!! This is the box my goodies came in...... (A treat in itself) And here are my 2 gorgeous dolls. These photos don't do them justice. They are made from felt and embellished beautifully!! These gorgeous girls are handstitched, and I love them!!! You really do need to see them in person to realise how much work has gone into them. Thankyou so much Nathalia!!!

Also, this ATC!! I love the face and the way Nathalia embellished her hair. What great addition to my ATC collection.

Lots of Mail!!!

These ATC's are from a swap I did with Isle from Belgium. Ilse and a couple of others organised a huge ATC display with ATC's from all over the world. It looked fantastic.... I made 4 ATC's, which when put together looked like our Australian "Red Centre". This beautiful postcard is from my lovely friend Doreen! It really is gorgeous - wonderful colours - love it. Thanks Doreen!!
And look what I have here!!! Dot you are so generous. I received these 2 very beautiful dolls in the mail. Now I have my very own original Dotee Doll from the lady herself. THANKYOU!!
And take a look at this girl with attitude......I just love her face. There are so many wonderful embellishments on both of these dolls, and lots of work goes into each one. Love them!!!!




Also, I received a double whammy from Mags. A birthday postcard - a beautifully stitched fan with wonderful texture..... And, below a fabric page which was from the Fibre Art Friends group fabric page swap. It is just gorgeous, I love it!! Thanks Mags!!! As this is the last page for the swap, I now have to think about how to bind them all together. That might also have to wait for the New Year (like everything else!!). Boy, am I going to be busy in the New Year.

Poor Thing

I have a bit of a "thing" for dolls too? I love character and art dolls. At the beginning of the year I attended a Patti Culea workshop - she is such a wonderful lady. My poor girl below has been without head, arms and legs for such a long time that I think it's about time that I put her all together. Her body and arms are from fabric we made in the workshop, and her skirt is fabric painted with transfer dyes. I'm not too sure if I'm happy with her face, so might have to make another one - her nose is a bit flat! I figured if I put her up here for all to see I might be shamed into finishing her!!!
