Sarah with her new collection of creatures.Everyday we did some kind of project. I taught her to use my sewing machine and together we created a menagerie of cool stuffed creatures.
Sarah, concentrating on her stitching!!All it really requires is a whole bunch of stuffing material, plenty of old clothes to cut up and a few socks. Sarah made up a lot of her creatures by drawing them on the material with chalk.
Chalked mermaid.She also looked through one of my favorite books on stuffed animals, Plush-O-Rama by Linda Kopp, and based some of her creature designs on those she liked from Linda's book.
That same week FaveCrafts asked me to submit a craft to their website, this gave me the idea to interview Sarah as a guest blogger and find out how she feels about creativity.
Stuffing a creature.Here's what she had to say.
RG: What are your favorite colors?
Sarah: Green, blue and purple.
RG: Do you have a favorite art project?
Sarah: Probably stuffed animals, because I got to learn to use a sewing machine.
RG: What is your favorite part of being in the art studio?
Sarah: So many possibilities of what you can do, looking around at everything.
RG: What inspires you?
Sarah: Pictures in magazines for drawing; for stuffed animals just seeing them all in my room.
RG: What do you think is the most exciting part of a new project?
Sarah: Watching it all unfold and come together.
RG: Which stuffed animal is your favorite and how did you come up with the name.
Sarah: My favorites are Polly and Molly, I picked Polly because it's a fun name and reminds me of pink, I picked Molly because it rhymes with Polly.
Sarah, Polly and Molly.Thank you Sarah, we had a great time crafting!!
