I haven’t felt this intense about a project in a very, very long time.
Except for the accursed day job, and having time constraints, I am using every moment that I have to work on Candace.
It isn’t actually work…it is play.
I forgot how much fun it is to play.
I was stumped with her hair. I only want to pull from my stash, and I had a difficult time of it. All my browns are too red, or too green, or too orange… too dark, too light.
I finally called my Hubby into the sewing studio to get his opinion, and his opinion was of help.
But what helped the most was having a chat with myself.
I forgot how much taking the creative process too literally spoils the fun.
After my little chat with myself, I got back to playing.
And I really, really want to shop all of the batik fabric sales that I can find!

Candace is coming along faster than I thought that she would!
I highly recommend putting the background fabric on first, since everything else goes on top of it. It will be easier to build from the ground up.
I didn’t do this because I was undecided what I wanted to use for the background.
Remember…I haven’t permanently fused any of the pieces yet! I can still change out something if I don’t like the way that it looks (or add background).
I think I have it figured out.
I am sorry that the lighting isn’t consistent for you. I guess inconsistency goes with an amateur photographer and taking a photo at different times of the day.
