no dust yet

"an idea can turn to
dust or magic,
depending upon the talent
that rubs against it."
-william bernbach


just a start on needle chanting the whispers from deb's wondrous cuss pot! my friend says the character looks rather like a carrot wearing a wild sash...though, i'm quite certain she is wrong about that one... there is still plenty more chanting and whispering to go... all the fabrics, including the backing cloth, came from deb's generous gifts (the background is from a cloth burrito she sent months ago and only recently found again), with the one, small exception of the the little polka dotted strip that was found clinging to the side of my dining room table...

  1. How kind of the table to keep it safe for you until you needed it. Your furniture is evidently well trained!
    I think the character looks more like a mother cradling her precious baby - with a hint of amphora to add to the mix!

  5. Wonderful start! And plenty of talent to make magic. By the way, I have a sister cloth to the purple one. Haven't decided what others it will play with yet.

    1. deb is very talented, yes!

      i hesitated at including that quote as the post title came first...and then i found the quote and loved it...but together, they sounded like i was having a rather big head. of course, the crazy carrot woman told me it didn't at all... i'm thinking she has yet to plant her butt back into her rocker! roflmao!

  7. Carrot, shovel in the sand...I personally saw a spirit goddess at first glance. I like her/him/it! And I love that the little cloth hung on to the table, fighting to be seen and used :) Perfect!
