Inspired by our recent Julie Arkell class I made a few things that still need more stitching.
The little mermaid and her sisters got finished up and even got necklaces.
A 9" x 9" collage piece that I made for a local art fundraiser called, "One Night Stand".
And a funny little elephant collage that I made inspired by a birthday card I bought for a friend.
Earlier this week I visited my friend and neighbor, Sharon. She has given me many fabric and vintage lace treasures this year. This beautiful embroidery came my way. I washed it and the yellow ran a little bit, but I will find a way to use it soon.
These dolls came from Sharon too. I love their faded vintage clothing.
It's been very hot here in CA and I have to take off and go for a swim in the ocean to cool off, which isn't too bad. It does make it difficult to get things done though.
Hope you have time for some creativity this weekend!
A special THANKS to Morna Crites-Moore for my new blog header script.
I need all the help I can get!
Thanks, Morna!

Hi Mary!!
Love the mermaids and the Julie Arkell inspirations! I am always amazed at how much wonderful art you make! Love my elephant too!
Miss you, xoxo, Grace
Love it all Mary! I have one of those dolls in your last shot. It has Ireland stamped on the back of her upper leg, but she has a very Eastern European look to her clothes. Pretty old I believe. Have sooooo enjoyed your pictures from France and your JA workshop!

Thanks, all for your friendly visits!
Thanks, Mary! Are you okay with the size? I'm worried that I made it too big. Let me know if you want me to change it. xo
