Random Salvage Folks

Today was such a hot and humid day.
Too miserable to do anything outside although I did try to do a bit of gardening this morning.
The air conditioners just couldn't keep up with the heat and humidity.
Even the air in my car seemed to take forever to get cool today.
It was a good day to take it easy and play for a while.
I scanned the drawers of reclaimed fabric in my sewing room, dug through a jar of old buttons and sat down at my sewing machine.
 Little Fairy Flo has wings made from part of a bride's vintage head piece.
Her hair is locks of wool and her outfit is made up of scraps of vintage fabric and lace.
Gretta the Grouch is a friend of Flo's.
She's having a bad hair day and doesn't appreciate Flo flying overhead and pointing out the spot of vegetable matter that's stuck in there.
 
Creating a doll always feels a little like magic to me.
They each seem to have their own personality and no two are ever alike.
Almost real, but not.

The Dollhouse Project and Some Dolls

Hi all!
Been busy working on the dollhouse project.
First the deconstruction.
Then the painting.

In between it all. These...


Hope you're feeling a bit creative these days too!

Best Friends

Hope you are all keeping cool today.
We raced through the flea market this morning as the temp reached 85 in the baking sun.
It seems the older I get, the less I like the heat.
I did manage to find a couple of interesting things, even though we were in a bit of a hurry.

This caught my eye and I brought her home with me.

She's handmade and looks to be as old as me I would guess.

This cutie pie was there too and I figured they must be best friends, so I brought her home as well.
The man who sold them to me obviously did not know how wonderful they are, as he only asked for $1.00 each. I felt very lucky to have found these two best friends.
Hope your weekend was just how you wanted it to be.
