I’ve been working on a new doll pattern, and these are my experiments so far with their baby faces. Two are on cotton and two are on rayon. So far, the rayon is bleeding less when I use my Pigma pens and acrylic paint on it. I’m going to cut these out and do some appliquéing next. Right now, however, I am going to run in to town…more later.

“So you like slugs?” Feature
My “Hug Me! Slugs” have just been featured on firrkids.com, a review site for children’s fiction and non-fiction books, DVDs, toys and games. You can see the feature here: So you like slugs? Thanks so much, Jennifer! I’ve been feeling blue, and that really made my day.
“Hug Me! Slugs”, First Photo Shoot
Here they are…all neat and orderly, with their hang tags tied on, smiling for the camera.
“Hug Me! Slug” Invasion
This is what my workroom looks like this week. My mom came in and started to talk to me the other day, without even noticing them, apparently, because all of a sudden she let out a big, “AH!”
They kind of stare at you like Hypnotoad, only in a completely benign way. We hope…
I’ve also been putting together their hang tags and experimenting with making my pattern over in different sizes. I want to make another, one step down in size from this one, but I’m not sure if I can turn those antennae right side out if I go too small. I guess the only way to know is to try one.
