The Crocodile and Captain Hook

The first in my series of pin cushions as art is complete and I must say that when it was finished and I was photographing it to list for sale I couldn't get Peter Pan out of my head. The thought never crossed my mind until that moment in time, but I think it does Peter Pan proud!

I am always extremely pleased when a vision comes to life and this piece is no exception! Tell me what you think about how it turned out.

What's New for Spring?

How about a new line of pin cushions? I have been promising my customers a new line of pin cushions for months now and I finally have my eye on the prize! I had a long 4 day weekend this past weekend and it was just what the creative doctor ordered! I finally had time to go in to the studio and dig in! And so far the end result is everything that I hoped it would be! Some of my new pin cushions will be individual little works of art and some of them will simply be functional pin cushions. That's not to say that they will be simple. For those of you that know, you know there is nothing simple about me. So even though they will definitely serve a very distinct function, they will look good doing it!

Here is a sneak peak of the various parts of one of the new pieces!

This sweet little croc will sit atop the Emery filled red and cream polka dot ball and that will be nestled into the Black and polka dot based. The base will also be embellished to give it those perfect finishing touches!

I hope you like it!
