This project will most likely take me a while, so I thought I would share the progress.
I have started my on the first little pig.. His head is finished, but have much to do on his body.
There is nothing more maddening than to realize when you are in the middle of needle felting that you have run out of a particular wool. So I will have patience and wait. I ordered it today, so should arrive next week. I need to finish his body. The armatures are all ready for the last two pigs. I also ordered some miniature handmade bricks. They will be building a house. Not the entire house mind you, just a portion. I can see it in my minds eye
.
This year I would like to re-create old fables and fairytales.
I also hope to finish a very special project I have been working on for a very long time.
I hope you enjoy.. It is so good to be back.. Hope to visit you all very soon.
Love and blessings,
Penny
p.s. Bebe sends her love and asks that you visit Nowhere. There is a link on my sidebar to get there. Anita has created the most beautiful Castle!
I can feel it.

THIS PIG IS DYNAMITE! And I think the idea to recreate old fairytales and fables is a brilliant idea! AND THE BRICKS!!!!!!!!! teeeheheheheheee this is gonna be good. I can feel it.
Funny about bricks; read my email. We both have bricks on the brain! Penny, this darling little piggy is going to market to get his bricks to build a new year. Oh I'm tickled pink!

Glad you enjoyed my little piggy. Two more to go.

DeleteHow jolly! The 3 little pigs is a great project. House of bricks, house of sticks and a house of straw... we are all making houses this week! Good to see you back here Penny. Your piggy will be perfect, I know it.
ReplyDeleteSee what you started? We are all making houses.. Well, the three pigs will just be breaking ground on the house, but as soon as I find the right house for Lily I will get started. Then I can take my merry time with it.
DeleteGood to be back. Thank you for coming over to visit.
So dear! I hope your materials arrive soon so that you can continue on. I can only imagine they will be so adorable as they begin building their house.
