I made a pair of lederhosen for my son’s heritage festival costume. They fit - winning!

Thank you! I wanted to use blue buttons, but I didn’t have enough larger, matching ones in my stash. But, considering I didn’t have time to embellish with traditional embroidery, contrasting buttons were a nice upgrade.

I have lost track of how far along i am in this, but here is my next one.
A sheepdog named Bo watches over the flock in the fields above my home.
I visit him daily and decided to do a pen and ink of him.
Here is in on the trail that leads from the lower to the middle field.

I decorated a mug using oil/bake sharpies for my friend for her birthday.
Whenever I am doing freehand stuff, I never seem to be able to get both sides of the mirrored image to match.
Oh well

…my impression is that that’s most people. (definitely me) But your owl looks excellent as is.

thanks!!
The owl looks really well done! What a personal gift…aren’t you glad to be able to do such things for friends and family?
Awww…your friend looks like he is at the end of his shift, not at the beginning! They truly are working dogs!

Wow! You did a great job with the painting! I’ve painted many a ceramic at my favorite pottery studio and they never turn out that good! And, the Alaskan in me loves that moose!

rain rain rain over the weekend so I built my long-awaited scarecrow on the livingroom floor and put her up today. I got the pants, plain, at the thrift shop for a buck and added marker flowers. Shirt was 50 cents, same with the hat. Scarf was from an old pillowcase.
plastic flower pot head and old shirt cut up for hair. the tongue, a last-minute decision, is cut from an old exercise band. good thing I had red!
dunno if she will scare away any garden-munching critters, but it was fun to make!

She’s excellent garden art, even if nothing is scared by her!

Hug worthy! But since birds don’t have arms maybe they’ll be scared off?

Not much of a quilter myself, but can certainly paint some on a free-by-the-road terracotta plant pot!

Aww, thank you. My mom used to do ceramics and taught me the trick of using pastel chalks to add depth before you spray the clear coat on. Before that step my projects tend to look more like one of my children painted them . . .
