I'm so pleased that My Creative Space hosted by the lovely Kirsty is back......such great fun to join in and see what everyone has been creating.
Although I have some orders I should be working on this morning I decided to experiment on something new. I wanted to keep the sad eye theme going ...........it doesn't mean that I only like sad things, I just like the look of the over-sized eyelid. I wanted this item to be washable ( gentle hand wash not tortured in the machine with everyone's socks and jocks), but I had to come up with some way of putting the eyelid on with no raw edges.
I don't mind the idea of raw edges myself, I like hand stitching to be visible, I think it gives things a more used look, rustic handmade......I don't know, I just like it but if this item eventually has to be washed........there might be more than a few sad eyes!A few cups of coffee later my new little friend has eyelids and a nose........finally starting to get some personality, don't you think?
Now all I have to do is figure out how to attach it to a body!
For many more Creative Spaces head on over to Kootoyoo and say hello.

Sweet looking face! Look forward to seeing more.
All I could think was ouchy - looks like form of softie torture :)
I do like his sad eyes. They so much more character!
P.S. Thats a huge bent needle there, must be a favourite!
What a cutie, can't wait to see how he finishes up. I love to see what other people create as well.
Those woeful eyes draw you in...very clever eyelids! Is he a wabbit?
Looks gorgeous Brenda! Can't wait to see the finished product!
Oh i didn't realise there was so much cruelty involved in eye lid attachment on a softie, it's postively plastic surgery.
Yippee for MCS coming back, ahhhh, love Posie
Wow Brenda! Great macro shots. You do an amazing job with intricate hand sewing.
I just stumbled upon your blog. It's lovely. Your crafts are great and your pics are beautiful.
