At last I can see properly to sew, the new specs have taken some getting used to but I am happy to be making things again.
Here are my 'looking closely' specs, (I also have 'looking generally' specs) and a hunky circus strongman who is on the front of a small notebook, along with his bouquet-wielding friend. She has been sold, so I'll be making some more circus performers...
And I was commissioned to make two small pouches with naked ladies for a customer at Handmade Happiness- I love sewing these ladies relaxing in their unlikely hats. You can see the original drawing from life here (without a hat!).
In a way, I like the backs of things almost more than the fronts, a sort of random scribbling its impossible to do on purpose.
I think the word is 'serendipity'- more serendipitous nudes to follow.
