what does one do when there is no power for 2 days? well, you craft of course…and then you clean your craft room. lucie is a needle felted puppet that i never finished because there was always something about her that i didnt like…her face, her mouth…her ears.
then along came hurricane ike and a desperate need for another battery operated light source. i rummaged through my unorganized craft room, found some lamp parts and then i spied lucie!
lucie was needle felted hollow because she was intended to be a puppet—perfect for a lampshade.
i wanted to spruce her up so that once all went dark she would be pretty to look at so i gave her a felt rose for her hair, eyelashes and teeth.
lucie giving me light to sketch by + a guitar playing husband made having no power not so bad.
The most amazing Lucy, I’m glad she made light into the darkness of the hurricane!
That is some ingenious crafting in the dark. Take that MacGyver! Big raspberry to you, Ike!
PS. I love Lucie’s socks.
i can’t deny that she would give me nightmares, but i’m pretty sure they’d be FABULOUS nightmares.
Don’t you love it when you can finish an unfinished piece? Awesome!
I love when I’m looking for something and find a piece I have gotten bored with and take it up again.
She is awesome! Though I am not sure if I would like to be in a darkened room with her…
