Last night I finally took some time to work on the panels for Karla & Beth's Birds & Bonnets Vintage Workshop Swap. I had myself a bit of performance anxiety and decided just to throw those thoughts right out of my head ... I sometimes forget that the best creations tend to come when you are creating simply for the joy of creating. I won't pretend that all I make will one day be masterpieces, but I can promise that what I make will come from a place of love and happiness. Here's what I came up with last night:
Question ... the one on the left ... do you think it needs legs? I kind of like that the legs aren't there, but if it throws things off, it won't be hard to add ...
I'm thinking that I'll do two more designs and will copy the four on the backs (using different designs than whats on the front). At the rate I am going, I'll have them submitted well before the deadline. Phew!
What else ... OH!! I just treated myself (with the blessing of uber-spouse) to two lovely little treats ... first, I bought one of Monica's doll forms from her Etsy shop ... check it out:
And second ... from A Fanciful Twist's delightful Etsy store I am running away with these amazing post cards:
Oh happy MAY!!

Your panels are really good. I like the bird with just the shoes and no legs.
I was lucky enough to win a package of Vanessa's post cards. Aren't they just gorgeous?? I'm going to frame them!
gosh, thanks Jessi & Janet. I'm so feelin the love - and to think ... I was really quite nervous about sharing them.
I'm glad you think so, Janet - I really didn't want to search for legs ...
