~~Thinking of spring**new clown teddy*kitty&dog designs in the making~~



It's been awhile since my last post so I thought I would do a quick update of what new works are in the making.It has been a long winter and I am definitely looking forward to spring,so with this is mind I want to create some new style clowns in wonderful old dull pastel colors,and with a whole new body design for a super old vintage look.I've posted some older pics to give you an idea of what I have in mind.I did love the look of my slimprim clowns with the cloth bodies,but wasn't too pleased with their over-prim skinny bodies with long lanky arms.I was also happy with the felt slimkins(entirely made from felt)but I thought their body coloring could have been a bit brighter soooo.....I am working on a brand new design that mixes the two styles into one!I will have the mohair style heads on the felt style bodies,and the felt heads on mohair,faux fur and handtinted felt bodies.I am pretty happy with how the new gang is turning out,and I will also be offering cute prim puppy dogs with this new line!I had made some little felt dog and cat heads I used to make for craft shows(in 1996!)packed away in my closet and almost long forgotten until I was clearing out some of my sewing &supply stash and found them~~~thats when the light bulb went off in my brain for this new idea lol,but of course that is usually how we come accross a great idea.I also have other bears and kitties in the making and will be sure to post some new pics of their progress soon,and hope you will like them as much as I do!~~~~Sharie
