Judith McCarthy said… - Thanks Art4Sol...BIG mistake comparing ourselves to others.(I am a teacher, so I am aware of this issue with those I teach and myself!!). Try and compare what you were doing twelve months ago with what you are doing now...I was just thinking how different" your work is!!!Celebrate you gifts! Your work is quite charming...(Hope this doesn't sound like "lecturing"!!!

- Hi Darlene, Thanks for your comment. Yes, I agree that "Endless Possibilities" should be every artists mantra. There is just so much to explore and when creating a piece there are just so many possibilities and roads you can take. It makes creating things that much more exciting.

Free Vintage Paper Doll Pattern

American Folk Art Doll Pattern
This doll pattern and other folk patterns can be purchased at Cloth Doll Supply. Their description:
HISTORICAL FOLK DOLL #11
The New York Doll
The New York Doll
This 16" doll has made herself quite famous by being chosen to be on the cover of a well-known book of American Folk Dolls, by Wendy Lavitt. She is such a good doll for a cover as she has just about all the best details of this type of doll. Separate fingers, a wonderful and exaggerated face and hair all carefully embroidered, including her remarkable feather-stitched eyebrows, and a costume of just-right simplicity and detail. She has with her the same small cat the doll in the photo has. Silkscreened for embroidery and new antiquing methods included.
Pattern (mini-kit) #PGW725 - $42.00

HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme
The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.
