As promised here are some more creatures inspired by Julie Arkell.
This is 'Lost shoe'.
I just love embroidering words onto things!
Her ears are made of a gorgeous scrap of fabric that came from the States.
The jumper was part of a worn out sock from GAP which I just couldn't throw away.
As you may be aware I work one day a week in a fantastic shop called Heaths Country Store. (I will post some photos soon) My boss, after I showed him 'One shoe' , walked up to me with a pair of mittens on the top of his head and said "Anyone can be a Julie Arkell". The next creature was inspired from that conversation although it looks nothing like Heath!!
She is wearing a beautiful vintage dolly coat with a tiny little doll in her pocket which was knitted by my very talented Mum.
Here they sit, best of friends together.
wow - the world will be alive with these creatures soon! Do you sell them in the shop?

Hi Amelia,
ReplyDeleteNot yet. I think I will make a small collection of them first. Thanks for popping by again. Hope you're having a good weekend. x
Love anything by Julie Arkell - did you do a course with or or something?
