Fabric gift bags

No more gift wrap in the landfill with reusable fabric gift bags. Put your gift in the bag, cinch the drawstrings and your gift is ready. The gift bag is so pretty with an original pen and ink drawing by Monica appliquéd on the front, it becomes a gift in itself.
Several sizes are available for any gift from stuffed animals and small electronics to candy and a gift card.
Made of high quality cotton fabric and loving sewn with care.

Wellie Wisher sandals

These little sandals began with Grace's Gifts sewing pattern "Sweet Sandals".  I kept changing a few things until I now have my own design and it is still evolving into a nice fit and look for your doll.

Hummingbird drawings on Mug Rugs

Just finished an assortment of mug rugs featuring fabric illustrations of hummingbirds, a tuffed titmouse and a honeybee with a flower. Each mug rug is a unique piece, slightly different in size and color combination. http://etsy.me/2rD1lSk

Hedgehogs and English Robins

Here's a series of drawings working with negative space represented in the hedgehog's quills.  .  .

More on hummingbirds. . .

Continuing work on a study of hummingbirds and botanical illustrations. . .

I am finding the Micron ink pen is quite different from the Rapidograph pen - there is a shading quality with the Micron acting almost like the pencil, that is very nice to work with. The Rapidograph  has a wonderful crisp line but very unforgiving and needs more planning to development a successful drawing.
