As we were seriously moving this month and shuttling between two houses while packing and getting the new house in order, I wondered what I'd do.
Well,I took the drawings again of the girls and decided to make door hangers for them.
I've started with DearDaughter 5yrs drawing
the princesses she draws are all over the house: boxes, little cards, books, used envelopes, etc. and it is typical as she likes to dress up and become a princess when she's a grown-up. This pic she drew last week. I found it on my desk. It is the new house. Her room is top right. I guess she is watching from it and me and her sister are below.
tried and copy her drawing exactly(ball hands and pointy shoes the works!) apart from the embellishments.
- I've used felt for her body and crown
- stuffed her head with cotton
- used cotton thread for crocheting and embroidery
- her (dread) locks are pure virgin wool
- hand painted wooden beads
- metal bell
at the back on her dress:
- wooden buttons
- self covered metal buttons with Japanese canvas fabric
She's aprox 15-17cm and will hang in dd room. Something to enjoy forever.
