adjustment

i love this 2 alpaca mohair, but something wrong out there, the 1st narrow gusset design isn't fit at all, so need to take adjustment on patterns,
see the right side is talking to the wrong side again. wish it works after stuffing :)

reading time: Beatrix Potter

i really don't know much about Beatrix Potter, then start to do some studies on her biograph, and got the book as previously posted. and yes, you would be amused by those delicate drawings, which were her studies on the nature of fungi,and it seems i am going together with her microscope and day by day recording the growth on the living species. Drawings captured on different angles, composition, and her perspectives towards mycology, families in fungi. i like her drawings and this can be traced from her artist inspiration from Randolph Caldecott.
Below, you can have an idea of his work:

lots of fun to read this aloud with small kids :>

there is another small children's book by Beatrix that she got the influence from his drawings:

my Mima's bear

Is a present for my hubby :)
Lorenzo is a bear made by Robyn, an Australian artist. He is made exclusively for the TBACA on-line show:
Be my Valentine. I am attracted by the color, as it's difficult to use high hue color co-ordinates with the same color adornments, love this monotone effect. He has painted glass eyes with open mouth design which highlight the facial
expression. I love his details and workmanship. To my surprise, my hubby shows his interest with this little bear, we
appreciate 'he' is a piece of art too.
