Two Moustaches!

Here are two very dapper moustache-ioed gentlemen.  I saw a young guy in town the other day with a fully waxed moustache; he looked great, maybe they are catching!

Fabric Remnants...

I am very pleased to say I have very little waste from my making, I can usually re-use most fabrics.  The very little pieces I am left with go to my little boys school for art and craft.  The bits I am left with that are slightly bigger I use to make little egg cosies, curious things but every house should have them!!  These are some I  made over the weekend, and it struck me they looked a little like the characters in two of my favourite vintage books.  'Madeline' by Ludwig Bemelmans, and the 'Lovers' by the brilliant Raymond Peynet.  I have been collecting Peynet books for nearly 10 years now, and often wish I could just 'jump' into one of his pictures...

Boxed People...

I have been making something a bit different with these boxed folk; I had some of them at a Brighton Open house.  I like making them as each one is different and 'forms' as I go along; but it is proving quite hard to source boxes/frames at a reasonable cost.  I quite like the fact that they all long a bit dis-interested in life!!
