Okay, I’m going to finally get caught up on all of the projects here. I used to be much better at commenting, so I need to get back to showing my admiration for all of the fantastic projects you all share. I’ve made a few random comments, so I’ll try not to duplicate
@geekgirl, I am hungry for brownies, and am kicking myself for not picking up a mix. But, of course I can make them from scratch! And, your taco pie sounds so very tasty! I don’t have all of the ingredients on hand right now, but I’m saving the recipe for later. Owlbert is very cute! I’m glad there is appreciation of cute monsters! I love your ATCs, always. I like how you mix up your style, too! As much as I love your collage work, it’s fun to see your other talents, too. I love your journal pages, too. The ones with the white in the center of the page are so neat- I like the way the white gives you a calm focus point amidst all of the color. Love the snarkiness of your 4 X 6" pieces, too.
@gozer, I really do love your Bride of Frankenstein painting. I really like how the yellow sets of her portrait. Good job on your masks! I have only made one mask so far, but I avoided the pattern with the pleats because, I agree, they would be a pain to sew! And, I know I commented on your peg people over in their main post, but they are so wonderful. I love everything about them.
@ezrib, your Kumihimo cord came out great! I learned about the technique a few years ago, and find the repetitive motion very soothing. I might have to dig out my supplies (I know I have a couple of bracelets to finish, so thanks for the reminder). And, I know I already commented somewhere on your plague doctor, but I absoultely love it. I think you need to make it costumes for every holiday! And, I like the fabrics you used for your masks.
@Bunny1kenobi, your fat baby jackalope is just adorable. Did you pop it up off of the card, or did you use shading to ctreate the effect? And, I really like your masterboards- they have a crazy quilt vibe to them that is so fun! And, nice job on your masks- I really like the sunflower fabric- it’s very cheerful! And, I like how you made boy-friendly masks (love that space fabric). But, I think the stenciling on your husband’s masks takes the cake! I wouldn’t have thought to stencil on a mask but what a great idea! Nice job on the pants makeover, too. And, I agree with you on the ruching… so strange… But, your little lemonade tin is amazing! I am always impressed by minature works. I love that you included your MIL’s recipe, too. It makes the whole thing extra special.
@storerboughtcreation, we always had cheesy au gratin potatoes, so now you’re making my mouth water. I’d take scalloped potatoes as a substitue. To me, they’re so similar- both delicious! And, you continue to blow me away with your biscornu skills. Every single one is beautiful, and these are no exception. I’m sure the simplicity of the green oneis deceiving, because that’s a lot of stitching! And, the koi biscornu is equally fabulous. I am so impressed with your design skills!
@GMPNQ, great job cutting your son’s hair! I’m sure it isn’t easy, but your son looks adorable. I remember how squirmy I was when my mom used to cut our hair, and how she used to use this pink tape to get our bangs straight. I also remember that pulling that tape off was the worst part! And, I love that shark fabric (and your son’s shirt- I wish they made fun shirts like that for adults!) on your son’s mask.
@roler, your felt work always impresses me. I love how you can get such expressive pieces from felt, and your stitching is so neat. And, good job on your face masks. I have only made one so far, but I need to make more (hopefully today).
@appledainty, I am in love with your pillbox hat. I’ve been watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and I can see her wearing this hat. Your work is impeccable!
@QueenHobo, Fabulous job on your tardis biscornu! Your sister is an excellent teacher! Beautiful job!
@Lynx, great job with your embroidery pieces! How did your color in the Lava Java one? Crayon? And, the detail on the walrus is amazing. Also, I love that you created a weird creature bunting. It’s so fun! I like the soapsaver, too. Do you keep the soap in it so it acts like a little scrubbie? And, I like your seedling planter. I keep meaning to make some hanging planters, but I tend to kill my plants before I do (which reminds me that I need to water the 2 that I currently have…). I like your paper chain- good use of scraps- and it’s given me the idea to give a similar challenge to my students. And your puffin book- OMG, hilarious!
