I sold Uriah on EBAY last night. I hadn’t really planned to use EBAY as a venue. But it’s so exciting! I worked on a couple more Santas today and hope to have them finished soon.
Uriah
And I still haven’t done my lesson on painting on fusible web and I really want to do that. And this week’s lesson is printing with jello – don’t ask! It looks pretty interesting, though, I must say…
Below is a little sample of monoprint painting. This was an alternative sketch from the Fiber Collage class (which is being taught again in January, I think). This is a time-consuming process, but great fun! And I can see where it could be a useful method of printing on future projects. I will finish this piece with embroidery and beads at some point.

He is a bit super, isn't he. I know its your job, but how can you bear to part with them? I couldn't sell Doris, but maybe its because she's my 'first'. Mind you, I'm very attached to all the bugs as well.
Thanks for the fascinating series of fabric prints - following it with great interest.
Thanks, Kay Susan. It has been hard to see the boys go. I’m just glad they’re going to good homes where they will be loved - and where they will become part of someone’s family holiday traditions.
I love the monoprinting course. I have barely scratched the surface (no pun intended!). There are a few projects in each lesson, plus Susan gives us extra projects in the forum. I haven’t tried discharge printing with bleach (like you used on Doris’s amazing ensemble!) but I may try drawing on fabric with a Clorox Bleach pen.
Hello! I found you through your listing for Leonard and have been to your website too. Your work is fabulous!
I belong to a yahoo group called vintage cloth dollmaking (sister group on ebay called vintage cloth doll artists) and our current challenge is a vintage type Santa! Your work is the perfect inspiration! I'd like to ask you about the needle sculpting on your santas if I may. I know you're busy, but do you have a minute to email me? It's bettsi_mccombATyahooDOTcom. I hope to hear from you. Thank you so much!
