The last paper elf !!
I'm moving right along with my swaps and round robins. Today I finished up a little paper elf for Helen in NY. This was for a round robin that I'm doing with Sherry Goshon's group - FabricDollArt. This is the last month of this project so I should be getting my journal and little girls back home soon. Let me tell you what this little elf is made of ...
it's not sugar and spice and everything nice. It's green ink and stamps, pieces of paper napkins, flowers and leaves, and lots of holeless beads. I used Aleene's Paper Glaze as the glue for the beads. It has a nice long conical spout that allows you a lot of control over the glue. You can actually draw designs with it because it is a fairly thin glue. If you look at the face you'll see some silver around it - those are silver beads. Try it, you'll like it. I also used it to make the gold stars on the torso ... but ... I used embossing powder and the glue bubbled when it was heated. But I'm pleased with it and I think Helen will like her too!
WOW judi you did it again...I love her...you always amaze me...love ya
Posted by: Sherry Goshon at June 27, 2006 8:46 PMVery cool. Judi! I am sure Helen is going to love him.
Peace-

I think she's sooooooo cute! She looks as tho' she's dying for everyone to look away so she can break into a dance - a jig, I think! I love her! More to the point, so will Helen!

Posted by: Sandra Corson-walker at June 28, 2006 5:30 AMWhat a treasure -- maybe you'd let me "kidnap" him from Helen?? Gorgeous!
Posted by: JudiA at June 28, 2006 6:57 AMSome say "him", some say "her"....I'm going with "him" and he's adorable, Judi!!
Great work as usual.
It's your elf and it's lovely, but I've always thought of elves as male. Mind you I was an elf in the brownies.
I showed your last doll exhibition stuff to my sewing goup yesterday and they were very interested. We've made quite a few dolls .
