Sneak Peek...Royal Flavour


My next little project started this evening. A little break from my collaboration with Heidi (Making Strangers). Feeling a little bit Regal. Just need to decide on the stitches...running/back or a spot of trailing. Maybe a bit of both.

Drumroll Please - Completed Collab Number Two


Looks like he's waving


Oh he's holding something, and he's got a little jacket and hat on


And its got tiny little buttons and what is that in his hand?


Aww its a little telescope!


And here it is complete (ready for making up into a clock) and sitting long side its original drawing. This clock will be a series of four, and no one will be exactly alike. Different linens will be used, and who knows the jacket may be a different colour.

The progress and journey so far of this collaboration has been the most exciting thing I've done to date, and I hope your enjoying it too. More designs are in the works, and packaging and things of that nature are still to be designed, but soon they will be ready to purchase. If anyone is interested in joining a mailing list in regards to purchasing these clocks, then drop me a message here or over at my Etsy store.



Working Progress - Little Clouds

The progress of the other clock is going well and I think, as I stated last week, that I will be hopefully getting all the stitching done today. This means I can then make it up during the week. I worked on it fairly late into the night, until a headache kicked in. 



Starting the last cloud


Ooo look I started the little fellow, here I tacked down a rough outline for his legs, coat and face


Just put one layer of padding on the jacket ready for me to do some straight satin stitch over it. The arms will be a combination of trailing and satin stitch.
