Love & Magic!

I'm kind of in love right now.... and the most JOY-full of that "love" feeling is that is doesn't need to make sense in the slightest..... Now there's an opening sentence :)

I've been wanting to make some animal heads for a long time now, but couldn't quite get MY head around the fact that fake/fabric or not I would be creating something based on the idea that a dead animal head was going on a wall.... ick!
That was until active imagination stepped in (hallelujah!), and suggested that in actual fact the head belongs to a very much alive and  magical  (of course!) animal , who peeps in from some sparkly realm bringing with it a magical quality to bestow on the home it finds itself in.
Well....Yes! When you put it like that I can TOTALLY jump on board that creative adventure!

So let me introduce to you the new obsession  love  in my life......my "forest friends"...... *sigh*
This is Bernadette, bestower of the magical quality FUN and playfulness...

 Little Doe......I really do love her..... and the magical quality of Innocence that she brings.

And Mumma Bear Mathilde...who's magic carries the qualities of nurturing and comfort.....

I have begun something I cannot stop...... Love indeed :)

Pip!

 It's such a treat to have our computer back up and running...it appears that computers are not immune to the lurgy either!
So after a new hard drive, several lost photos and many lessons learned.. I'm returning with a friend...

Pip is his name, and he came about over the Christmas holidays when I decided to indulge in the "creating of things I never normally turn my hand to ,but have always quite fancied!"

He's a gentle soul despite his inadvertent "pirate-y" appearance. Pip genuinely lost an eye in his making....one day I left him sitting on my desk with 2 eyes ready to be stitched...to return the next day with one missing!

One of these days, I get the feeling a lone eye will 

turn up in some random place and I'll wonder what the heck I've stumbled across...hopefully Pip will have placed himself in an obvious position with his remaining beady eye fixed on me as a reminder!
