A few weeks ago I had my first attempt at dying fabric - lace for Jubby's dress. It didn't turn out as bright as I would have liked but I didn't have time to experiment. I actually wouldn't normally work with lace but the pattern I was following did, so I thought that I would give it a go in my own unique way (Creative Cloth Doll Faces by Patti Medaris Culea)
I really enjoyed making Jubby and am pleased that I overcame the hurdles that it took to get her finished. If anything, I am most satisfied with that simple fact - that I have seen a project through to completion :) I feel surprisingly free and inspired and overall I am happy with the result.
She will sit in my studio now and be an ever-present reminder to me of what is possible if I am patient and persistent. Thanks Jubby... and thanks Mum!
You did it! You did it! Jubby is fantastic - what an inspiration she will be and what an inspiration you are. I love that she's a project you completed with your Mum - she would be very impressed with the results.
