In truth, I'm not sure what I'm doing here, but there's been this idea in my brain for a long time, and it keeps poking at me, poking at me (alert! advertising reference!), so I finally heaved the big sigh and did this. Where it goes from here is anyone's guess. I'll just follow along and see what happens. I need something else to work on besides the skirt, though--sometimes I want to wear the skirt, to see how I might need to alter the process if I make another one (snort), and I can't ever wear it if I'm always in the middle of some huge honkin' part of it. So although there's something I'm ready to do to it, I may hold off. Or not.
The inspiration for whatever-this-is may come from the stuffed donkey, EyeOre, that I've had since birth and that sits on top of the shelves over there (and here I was going to take photos to show you, but the camera said, "Change the battery pack." So I did, but apparently that battery pack wasn't fully charged, or it didn't hold a charge, because although I had charged it at some point in the recent past, it is not, now, apparently, charged. So no more showing, only telling. Alas), and also Pino the donkey, from Apifera Farm, because I once sent them some vintage aprons for some project. Or maybe it was the illustrations in Katherine's book, Creative Illustration Workshop.
Or maybe it was my favorite wooden donkey, which I was trying to photograph when the camera pitched the fit about the battery pack.
Sorry about that--I did so want to show you all the inspiration. Oh, wait! Maybe PhotoBooth can come to the rescue!

I saw a wallaby in the stitching....
I saw a donkey named "hoedi".......all together now, say it with me fast like: "donkeyhoedi". (tee hee).
(hey)Jude
very cool! looks like a good book, too. some creatures just are what they are and unless they feel like telling you, you just have the guess.
Maybe it's a hyena that's going to evolve into a horse. Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm sure that with lots of embroidery and beading it will be something fabulous.
I could tell right away it was a donkey. Well, I knew it wasn't a cat. They don't have noses that long.
I really really like the idea behind this post, that we get to follow along your creative journey. We don't know and you don't know. Fantastic.
Is that a...a... chupacabra?
word verification:
bustst - as in really well endowed?
oooh, no, it's not--but that gives me great ideas! thanks so much--and while chupacabra is fun to say, it's not nearly as much fun as "goatsucker," which sounds like a made-to-order curse.
