Hi All,

Just a quick note from the sunny but not so warm beach.

The show season is over for 2010 and it is time to enjoy

family and friends,

sand and sun!

Have a wonderful Hoilday Season

and Thank You

for following the Embellished Spirit in the past year.

I look forward to sharing many new quilts,

artistic figures,

and techniques

with you in the New Year!

Along for the Ride

The mermaid riding the turtle is finally complete (well, I may still add some beads to the turtle).

What a joy this doll has been. The idea was conceived in Virgina Beach, VA while walking on the beach in November of 2009, so she was a year in the making.

Posted here are views from the back and front

of this Artistic Figure in Cloth

Titled "Along for the Ride".

A Detail of her clothing, created with hand painted lace.

A Detail of her face.

Work for the Fall Gallery Show and Sale

Work continues on the turtle doll and the mermaid.

To be titled "Along for the Ride"

I have lots of help on this project, as you can see in these photos!

Before the week is over I'll send photos of the now

"underconstruction" mermaid and the finished sea turtle.

Please note my previous posting

that carries the information about the

Rivercity Figurative Artists' Guild Gallery Show and Sale,

coming up this weekend, November 13/14, 2010.
