Its funny how a new idea can suddenly strike.

I was drinking my third cup of earl grey this morning, contemplating the day ahead, when it happened.

I’d just put the finishing touches to these two…

I was thinking about something that’s happening on Friday. Something exciting…

I’m meeting a possible new stockist and I want to have some good stuff to show them. Something other than just dolls.

So I made some brooches…

I like the idea of wearable dolls…

If you’re wondering where the vintage fabric comes in, well, the faces are made from vintage linen curtain lining.

And take a look at the backs…

I’ve still got a few other ideas up my sleeve, too.

I’m dog-sitting tomorrow, and my waggy-tailed charge demands a lot of my attention, so I won’t have a whole heap of time to put them into effect before Friday.

But it’s great to feel a bit of creative inspiration stirring again.

Even if really, all along it was staring me in the face. ♥
