cheese cloth is not the ideal stuffing. Nor is the urgent technique i fell into.....fast....just fill. But it's all ok. I know what i wanted to know. Can i make a figure easily and with no need for "preciousness". Can i make a figure to simply receive a blind urge. yes. I used to make and sell "angels". sewed by machine. I could do that blind after a while. Many hundreds of them. I used colorfully dyed mohair yarn for hair....each strand individually stitched into place. There were Guardian Angels and Wish Angels. They had words. The wish angels had instruction. That seems another lifetime. I used to make "art dolls" fiber bodies and the carved faces and hands. Hundreds of them. Some lifesize. I used to use Alyssia's face to make the gauze and plaster strip mask for the lifesize ones. She was maybe 6, 7, and 8 years. That's from another life, too.
it's been a loooooong time. Why this, why now?
