Crystal Treelaine

Crystal is the oldest of the Treelaine sisters. She is all about sparkle; ear bobs, necklace, snowflake, and even her skirt has hints of Angelina fibers that glint and glimmer.

I seem unable to stop 'tweaking' the Treelaine Sisters... here is Crystal's latest update, just a change of mouth shape.

And a close up of her snowflake.

Experimenting

I have been keenly interested in the felting/embellishing field day going on throughout the quilt art world. I drove a friend's felting machine for just a moment, but it was enough to help me decide I want to do the slow, old fashioned way of felting/embellishing, by hand. I want to be able to arrange and poke and arrange and poke, adjust, add, stab it some more...this is the result of my first attempt. Nothing to send home to Mom, but it is as fun as I thought it might be to do! I plan to take classes while in the UK, and come back a pro. :?}
