Here is another example of a digression from the original Fish chair. This chair has fine tree branches and some of the covered floral wire for the chair back.
La Demoiselle class for Artistic Figures in Cloth and Clay - April 2019 Columbus OH The student will sew some items in advance. TORSO The torso has a waist, shoulders and a long tab that the head will sit on. There are two short “pegs” that extend below the hips. I know it looks strange. The legs are slipped over these “pegs”. So the “pegs” are just a mechanism for that to happen. Leaving the opening in one of the pegs is the opening that will be used when turning the torso after the curved parts are clipped. After the torso is turned, sew a line where indicated. Sew a line from one side of the hip to the next. We will open a seam in the side to stuff the upper body. We can do that in class.
Cat Tails is one of my favorite creations. I love a play on words and the possibilities they present. The skirt has three usages of the word Cat Tails......the cat has a tail.....cat tails grow in marshy areas.....and there is a cat reading a tale about a cat. The calico cat on the left is reading a pop up book called Puss in Boots. Visible and very obvious hand stitches are a common theme in my fabric figures. There is no mistaking the touch of the artists hand upon the art work. I also love to add a playful touch to my work. The gray and white kitty is trying to play with the dangling little fabric do-dad in the dolls hand.
