Cloth Paper Scissors + me!

Meet Miss Lavendar.
She appears in this months Cloth Paper Scissors.
Yes it seems I have been busy.

Sort of seeing how far the moniker
"mixed" media can go, really.
Perhaps there is a new description:
AADD.
Artistic Attention Deficiency Disorder.

People of plastic here
People of paper mache there,

not to mention dogs
of paper mache and much spoiled-ness.
This is Miss Prissy who is winging
back from the US.

No doubt she will have airs when she returns.
Funny how we say,
"putting on the dog" for those
with a puffed up sense of themselves.

This is Tinkle. She isn't in the etsy shop either
because she is in a first class freight box.

All this fuss is entirely the fault of Julie Arkell.
She of the gorgeous folksy paper mache and small print fabric
whose work I have adored for so long.

Thanks to Elvis at Lovely Textiles who has actually met her
and done her workshop.
Flings self postrate to the floor chanting,
"I'm not worthy I'm not worthy" while being careful
where the "R" is placed in that "p" word.

Crowing about yourself is
quite the UN Australian
thing to do.
Tall poppies and all that.
We do frown upon it.

However there have been too many lectures
and stern fingers waggled in my direction

about keeping the art cards

so close to the chest.

Just like Elvis Robertson,
I have managed to squirm
into the last spot for Julie Arkell's
2011 workshop.

The squirm is confirmed.
It is at Les Soeurs Angaliases

Yeah..

in the south of France.
Held in the English Sister's gorgeous maison .

I know.
It will be awful, *chuckle*

Meanwhile, more vintage scrap softies
have been born.
It was fun making ears for Charlotte
with fingers of an old glove.

Stitching quietens the mind
and helps ideas to flow.

Blessed Bea.
