Thanks Riya, i loved your patterns with thread, they are amazing and eye catching. In fact you are right that this group created by Anton is amazing where everyone can share what they do more than canvas painting. thanks Anton for the invitation and i m proud to be a member of it.

Riya, you keep on amazing me.
Your lace-making skills are fantastic... these doilees are very much in-tune to the ones done on our little island. Are you sure you are not Maltese?
Saw some done by Hungarian folk crafters (but unlike these you did, and the ones I find locally, the Hungarian ones have more bright colours in them).
My favourite one is the Square one, with the squarish hole in the middle. Never seen one such like it... and the pattern really struck my fancy :)

Can't wait to see the lace cushions you did! :D

Rosalind the red blossoming flowers are pure bliss... really like the impasto, thick texture you used for such a delicate subject. Like the rhythm you have created with the colour and shapes :)

The last post of the Sumi-e Ink on Rice paper, is that a necklace? That is a base, drawing in, and shut everything with a glass/resin cabochon?!
It is cool... love silhouette drawings; there is something mysterious and enigmatic with them... so a very well-done on this last post ;)

Darlene, very nice sheen and execution of the Cajun Moon Face - so reminiscent of festivals. It reminded me of our Carnival and Mardi Gras.
Really like the moon's expression, she does appear to be enjoying herself as well :D

I don't know why, but in our culture the moon is male and the sun female? Is this the same, or does this change from location to location?

Hello Barbara, well done on the Mrs. O'Brien doll; she looks true to the drawing. like what Susanne said, I am pretty sure that the teacher will treasure this doll :)
Yes I did post that link of using Children's Art as the basis of dolls and toys... but can't find the original post ... hehe... guess I post too much!

Many thanks for sharing your technique and the materials used for the Money Tree Renu... never imagined that the base was that note/photo display holder. Fantastic.

I must say, that the altered chocolate box base and the button tree is much to my liking... So simple, yet at the same time so complex :)

WoW 24 members and can't keep up with the posts :p

You're all more than welcome and many thanks for your comments.

Sharon it is great that you will delve into Spanish Folk... it is always great to see what is happening outside my little island :)

Personally, I don't do much handicrafts and crafts... in case you don't know the story, one of the very first sugar skulls I did from clay, exploded in the oven for me; tried to sew fabric together and sewed it to my cuff etc etc. There are other occasions when I had a near miss from disaster... so to cut a long story short, I am a bit of an accident-prone clumsy individual.
But will try and am willing to learn! :)

Lovely tatting Riya.  I never learned to do any yarn or string work...maybe someday.
