Quack, a crafty project

June 28, 2010

Every once in a while I get a wild hair and do some sort of 19th-century handmaiden-type project, usually involving hot pink sewing thread or baking chocolate. Not sure where this impulse comes from, but perhaps it has to do with the fact that my two-year-old does not like it when I sit in front of the computer. Here is my newest doodle: Quack.

I sewed over the felt many times with swooping lines to mimic the motion of water and to nail down the shapes. At the bottom, hard to see, are fish:

At this point in my post, I would normally explain the rationale, the deep thinking behind this brilliant creative concept. But today, it’s just: Quack! My daughter likes ducks.
