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
