“I really do have love to give”

Needle-turn applique red heart on floral fabric, Elizabeth RuffingThat’s from the film Magnolia.

I love the movie and the soundtrack with Aimee Mann.

Happy Valentine’s Day! I cut out about a gazillion of these heart blocks, and hand appliquéd about, um, well, some of them. My friend, Linda, made a wall hanging of appliquéd hearts, and I got a little overly inspired. I have them in two colorways, reds and tans, and blues and greens.

Meanwhile…my next art doll project

Original art doll in progress, Elizabeth Ruffingis waiting for some new feet. I have been experimenting with Li-Qua-Ché pourable papier mâché and Creative Paperclay over fabric. I’ve got the basic modeling of this doll’s head done, and I’ve set her up in a bowl so I can get to her hands and feet without worrying about them denting on the table as I sculpt. Sitting on my desk this way, she reminds me of someone floating by on a raft in a swimming pool. She doesn’t look like she minds the wait.
