My latest obsession.
I have been in hibernation for winter.
Yes it is winter for some of us. We even had snow this year.
During my reclusive period I become somewhat infatuated with the world of folk art / primitive art / fabric doll sculpture.
I have a lot to learn, and perhaps it will prove to be my latest contribution to my previously disclosed mountain of half completed crafting, but for now it is my calling.
Or at least my distraction from grim realities.
This is my latest work in progress.
Don't judge the genre based on my efforts, I have much to learn. It passes the time at the very least.
I did put it aside today to attempt a drawing for @quillfire.
There is evidence of my attempt at drawing in the corner of this pic.
Also features a couple of other partly constructed beauties.
I have also been working on this chunky V stitch blanket for my daughter.
It was a birthday project, but like most of my projects, it didn't make the deadline.
She wasn't overly distressed by that 😆.
I have a stack of other gems I hope to share too.
A return to crafting has been my salvation.
Thanks steemers
Thanks stitchers
Thanks power house mates
Thanks creatives
Thanks collaborators
Thanks... 3 years of steemy lifeline, more real to me than almost any tangible truth. Looking at another hard forking, just keep doing your thing, live your truth, damn the man and steem on.
I love the doll - especially the mixture of different techniques.
And working on the blanket... yes, these things take time. But the great thing with blankets is that they can warm your lap while you're still working on them :)

I wouldn’t sleep with Dolly but love the blue eyes
And the blanket looks like it will be worth the wait 😊

I really like this doll, there is something very eye catching and emotive about it. The eyes really draw me in. Great work @girlbeforemirror
