Sewing, Finally!
Prep work finished, it’s finally time for the fun part! I think I’ll start with the kid in the center. I’ve pulled fabrics that I think will work for the kids and some of the surroundings. I found a neat brown for the eyes that already have some built in “sparkle”.
I’m not really liking the black/gray deep shadows on the kid but will leave it for now and see if it works better as more color gets added.
This foliage is too dark. 
This may be too bright.
I like this one better, at least for now.
I make lots of changes as I go so try not to sew too much together until I’m pretty sure it’s OK. But still, I will un-sew if I need to! A little color is starting to bring it to life.
The neatly folded fabric that I started with didn’t stay that way for long!!

This is thrilling – watching you work. How generous of you to share your process with the rest of us. Thank you. Love, Del

The kid’s eye does have a life-like sparkle to it. Watching your background elimination process is exciting and gives me much fabric envy. Anita and I went to Concordia today and made in dent in their inventory. We also ate at a lovely tea room.. this was our way of thumbing our noses at the weather as we only got a dusting of snow. Gene called from AR and said the trees had about a quarter inch of snow and the ground has an inch of sleet under about 4 inches of snow and more coming down. He still has power, but some near by are out. Looking forward to your next post. Gwynette
