Dandelion, A Spring Mouse

 

Just a little look back at a mouse made this time two years ago, Dandelion. Hand embroidery in yellows and greys on a mustard linen ground. The dandelion flowers where worked like Dorset buttons and the clocks in appliqued felt with seeds blowing across the ground. Loved making this one. She became part of a series in yellows, mustards and grey.
I do enjoy working the embroidery on the doll's skirts and playing with texture and stitch.
I have been working on the little girl dolls for the last week and have been busy embroidering their aprons but have not had time to photograph them. Hence the little bit of sunshine this morning.
I find that I get into the cycle of making and forget to make time for photographs but we will be having a shoot over the weekend hopefully!
