Switching gears : Back to the clock doll
I had to put the troll aside for now as I have to finish this piece to put it in the gallery. Our club does a show each February at a local art gallery and we have to have our pieces submitted this coming weekend. So I finished up the pants today and wefted the hair. Now all I have to do is make her a headpiece, attach the head to the box, attach the legs, and stick the clock in it. I should have it done tomorrow. Wefting the hair was fun. I used silk waste and eyelash yarn. I've taken photos of each step so I can teach this online or make it into a CD if there's interest. This clock's costume is way more complicated than the one I did for the magazine. This is another piece that I set aside for months because I got frustrated with it.
What a wonderfully evocative quote!! How did you apply it to the clock body -- did you use a stamp or an image from online somewhere? I never would have thought about wefting silk waste -- I've only used it to spin with. It looks so pretty. I can always count on your blog for interesting new ideas. What did you find frustrating about this piece, if you don't mind my asking?

You guessed right in my blog. That tortured looking thing is supposed to be a butterfly LOL!
Cool! As always, you are so innovative! LOVE the time quote & the way you placed it in a spiral. Very symbolic!
