well...

... I just couldn't resist this little face which emerged from amongst the jumble of craft bits and bobs at the local op-shop... As soon as I pulled it out from the drawer I knew that it was coming home with me... I have scanned it so it is not the greatest of pictures...

What do I intend doing with it? Not sure as always, but at the quick glance I decided to unpick all the foliage, redraw it if necessary and re stitch it in again... It is stitched in what looks like some ply of, I assume, tapestry wool... I am wondering if it was all stitched by the same person as the koala is so well done where the flowers look hurried, almost child like in the stitching - obviously the piece wasn't ever finished and I do wonder what it was destined to be... I would like to make sure it is completed and made into something as for some silly reason I want this little piece to 'live on'...

Any suggestions out there??? I am usually not into this kind of flora and fauna stuff - but this little piece just grabbed at my heart strings... As it is I keep stroking its little head and telling it is home now... Mad aren't I... Now that you don't have to answer :-)

What did it cost me - that and some buttons - the mighty sum of three dollars...

Until next time

Awww, that is so cute. I could make a suggestion on how to utilise it, but you probably already know what I'm thinking, because I plan to do it with my own opshop embroidered bits and bobs...

Hi Sharon,I am usually not into this kind of flora and fauna stuff either but he was too cute to pass up.
I would just add a bit more flora, leaves etc, and perhaps frame him..
Ah yes he's in a good home now!
