I did 5 craft shows this last season, and got a special order that rocked my little felt loving world. I was asked to do a sea turtle. I have always loved sea turtles, so at first I had very involved mixed media ideas. I got started with an olive green felt, played with a green blue polymer clay shell that was to have embossed tin pieces. Still sounds cool, however I kept staring at this olive green body and it wasn't working. I was to mail this off very soon in order for it to get to the gift giver in time for Christmas, so I had to get this to work.
Off to the internet I go. Hundreds of sea turtles later and inspiration hit when I got to the hatchlings!
I created a new pattern, change the colours completely. Stitched, stitched and stitched. I haven't been this happy in months-sewing by hand makes my heart happy.
Please met the first of many to come hatchlings of
Canadian Winter Sea Turtles
This little guy almost didn't make it to his new home cause I loved him so much! But I was a good girl, sent him off and now just realized the little card I attached spelled Canadian wrong- OOPs! He is numbered, stitched 1 on his tail (which was added after the photoshoot).I've got more in the works, as well as a few new "Canadian Winter Sea life" soon to be created. Now off to stitch some more-
Happy Holidays Everyone!
