I’m happy to have some finishes to show today. I was overwhelmed by the number of responses to my query on a black knob or a white one for Father Christmas’s base. Here is the decision, in picture. Included are two patterns from Robin Leuschen. All three pieces have been punched mostly with Valdani pearl cotton. I love the depth and texture you get from the varigated colors. The background for the Santa and sleigh is M1001 and it’s called Vanilla Sky. I used my rusty wire to make a hanger for the rocking horse. I found the two reindeer at the flea market. As you can see I’m a fan of old tattered things.

I added a picture of the drawing I used to create Father Christmas. I actually traced the main piece onto the weavers cloth without arms. I drew the arm on the back of the sheet. But since you need two opposite arms I held it up to a window to get a mirror image. As I said before it’s quite primitive, but play with it as you please. Be sure to show me your results!

Thanks for stopping by. Now it’s time to clean the living/dining/craft room. I’m excited to see the color of my desk as it has been covered with ‘stuff’ for several weeks.
