It's giveaway time - January 2010!!

Hi y'all, feeling MUCH better, thank you all for your kind wishes and caring messages - it really does help (especially when you live with a 'sympathetic' family like mine lol!!)

Right, here is the giveaway which I made yesterday and finished off today. Ain't she sweet? She is a little paper art doll.



I've said before that I find it hard not to try and make 'pretty' dolls and I was in the mood to do something girly, so apologies to those who like their art a bit more edgy. I had great fun making her although as usual I got hooked up in the little details. You will not believe how long it took to decide on the shape of the kimono sleeve as I wanted her to dance with her fans and it really bugged me that her sleeve would not hang 'correctly'in some positions. As if it matters. However I am particularly pleased with the way her hair turned out. Of course the whole thing was a bit experimental so now I know what I'm doing (!) I may make myself one without the mistakes hee hee.



Right then, you MUST know the drill by now. If you want to be included in the draw you need to leave a comment to that effect on this post. The draw will be made at 8.00 pm on Saturday 23rd January. International players welcome, and please feel free to link from your own blogs. Thanks for popping by. xx
