This week my work area (sadly I don't have a studio so it's just a space on the dining room table) resembles a bizarre CSI case. There are body parts all around, a pair of haemostats, needles and a monumentally big bag of stuffing! The truth is I've been learning how to make art dolls with Kathryn Thompson. These beautifully constructed bodies are a great way to display small pieces of work or samples that you don't quite know what to do with and are languishing at the bottom of your sewing box.
Kathryn is a generous teacher, sharing her skills and experience as well as a host of shopping tips. It's been a crazy weekend and I've still got a lot of homework to do before my next class in a couple of weeks. Now all I need is some inspiration for how to complete my little friend.
