A pin cushion? That is a great idea, but maybe making her smaller. I am becoming attached to her.

I think I shall call her “Lola.” Love the pieced shell. What a great pin cushion Lola would make – but, um – I would have a problem sticking pins in her – THAT just wouldn’t feel right!

After I finished it I immediately thought of my granddaughter and how she would love it. I think I may keep it for awhile, just to understand the depth of its lessons.

The colors are perfect. Did you intend it for a child or was it just a project to practice paper piercing?
I found that the stuffed animals that I made, I had to just close my eyes after I gave them. The child has to “grok in fullness” as Michael Valentine said in Stanger in Strange Land said.
