a completed project

I have a bad habit of starting new projects before finishing old ones. This year I am trying to complete some of my UFOs (UnFinished Objects).

I started stitching this little art doll about this time, last year. She is a "water element" themed art doll, with a body that is completely covered with chain stitch in all shades of green, blue and violet. I added some glass beads for a bit of sparkle.

This was the third art doll I completed with full body stitching. It does take a long time to complete a doll this way, however I love the "uniqueness" of the finished doll and the appearance of the rows and rows of stitching.

Torn Paper Mosaic

I have been altering a book and just completed this page. This was the first time I ever made a torn paper mosaic. I really love the way it turned out! It was very easy to do and took about 4 or 5 hours to complete.

I plan to do more torn paper mosaics... maybe larger projects to hang on my walls! Anyone reading this, that has done this type of artwork... I would love to see it! Please add a comment with a link to your site.

If you would like to see more of the book I am altering (or more info about this mosaic), visit HobbyLoco.com. I have tons of hobbies & I post photos, how-to info, free patterns, etc.. on a regular basis.
