What fabric should I use?

   I know when I first started making dolls, I wondered what other artists were using for the fabric when making their dolls.  I would study the pictures...trying to figure it out or at craft shows ask my Mom the Craft Guru..."What do you think that was made out of???".
   I personally use OSNABURG and let me tell you why.... 

1. As a Primitive Artist, we really do alot of distressing to our dolls and this is just a more  durable fabric I have found. 
2. It really holds the paint nicely...and gives you a nice textured look when sanded, without putting holes in it. (see that's that durability factor again! HEE HEE)

So, my CRAFTER'S TIP this week to you would be....to try OSNABURG...it's a little more expensive than your regular cotton tea-dyed color fabric, however...there are places you can get OSNABURG at a comparable price.  
       1) You can go to Joann's and use your 40% coupon or....
       2)  Go to WALMART and I believe it's only $2.59 a yd. (I personally go to Walmart to get 
             my Osnaburg.)    

     That's my CRAFTER'S TIP for the week! Enjoy!                

SHeW FLy PiE...where have you been????

Hey, eBay...I bet you thought I fell off the face of the Earth????  Not so!  Just been busy with cleaning, painting and cooking for the family!  Not that I'm big on cooking or anything, but every once and awhile you'll get me to bust out a pot! HEE HEE

    My son needed a bigger room, so I took his smaller room and I am making it my office.  
Here is paint in progress...

 

And, whatcha' you been cooking you ask?  Well, with the cold weather here....I did manage to break out a pot like I said I sometimes do and make....AWH...YOU GUESSED IT! (Boy, you guys are good)

You know....some fresh parsley and pepper on top would make this picture perfect...don't you think? Well, what do I know????? I hardly cook!  I'm more of a dessert and side dish kind of girl! HEE HEE  

 

      Anyway, the GOOD NEWS is.....I just got done posting this BUNNY on eBay and thought you might want to check her out..........

She's a CUTIE...click on the picture and she's take you right to eBay!

Snowday in Michigan!
