Yesterday Leila sent me a link to this cool tutorial for creepy eye bottle cap pincushions. I went home last night and made one. Mine has a vertical pupil for added creepiness. I began a second one. I think it will have green skin. Hallowe'en's coming!
I haven't been stitching much lately, just not motivated, so this feels very good. It got the ideas flowing---for a less creepy pumpkin bottle cap pincushion and for a evergreen tree pincushion. I feel like I'm back!
Crazy! You come across the most interesting things! But then you are a very lovely and interesting person.
ReplyDeleteI love those eyeballs! I just got a book with dozens of ideas for pin cushions, but I'm too into my sampler right now to try any.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how late guild is this month. You will have a good start on TIF before I even see you.

It is a little creepy, but I love your cat's eye pincushion!
ReplyDeleteHi Marjorie! Thx for the shout out. I tried to put a post up re.pincushions and half got deleted. Not sure if it is me or computer -- sigh. The part that is posted includes you : )
ReplyDeleteI got the pincushion book & it really is cute. From the library. Not sure if I'd buy it - money is too darn tight right now after getting the new roof.
I will patiently wait for my ship to come in - with pots of gold ... not : )
Cute idea for a pincushion but I would never be able to use it.. I just can't imagine poking pins and needles into that eye. Too funny
