Small Doll Almost Done


This doll set out to be a pin doll, but ended up too tall for that. Her hair is from a piece of some sort of shiny velvet-type fabric, a scrap I was given. Her features are done mostly with Micron pens, found in the scrapbooking section of craft stores. She is not at all fancy, but I like her.

Introducing JaqueO, the Red-Heeled Monkey

Happy Mothers' Day to all the moms out there. Hope you are all having a great day, and that you all hear from your kids today.

Here is my latest red-heeled monkey, whom my friend Betty dubbed Jaque since he is dressed like a Frenchman. I added the O. He is the first monkey I've ever made from the adult size small socks and he is about 14" tall as opposed to the 18" monkeys I've made with the XL socks. He's rather cute in that size; I will make a girlfriend for him next. He will miss the "group" picture at quilt on Tuesday, as I left him at the gallery yesterday:
