Nova has a, how shall I put this, over-inflated view of my skills. As in, she thinks I can do *anything*, and occasionally will put forth a project idea that almost melts my brain. This time however, I went for the challenge and did something I had never done before... sculpted cloth dolls.
These patterns were created by the extremely talented DeRue Johnson, who undercharges for her completed creations. Seriously.
The dragon was made for my daughter, who loves it to this day. I made a second which I sold in an art auction at Mile Hi Con in Denver, in October 2008 (per the ok on her pattern).
The Green Man was a favorite, and while he took forever to make and I swore NEVER AGAIN pretty much the whole time, I would make him again just to have the end result. He currently lives in Streator, IL with Nova's parents.
