bookmarm Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 this week will be delivery for fine art entries. Next week is home and craft (knitting and dollhouses for me). Jim drops two drawings off tomorrow, but they've been done since last Fall. The knitted shawl just got off the needles and blocking pins, the Lincoln house is finally getting the shingles, the room box still needs the outside finished. Today has been 'roundtuit' day. 'Bout to pass out from quick grab glue fumes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodland_miniatures Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Fantastic roombox and dollhouse, and that simply HAS to be the Peacock Shawl you mentioned elsewhere. It is extraordinary! BREATHE - and I don't mean glue fumes!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmgervais Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Everything looks great, but I absolutely love how the shawl turned out! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookmarm Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Thanks Mary and Liza! Yes, that's the peacock feathers shawl. I had a better photo, but the cats deleted it off our computer (this is the truth...some feline was seen walking over the keyboard while the photo was still up...only explanation why the pic later disappeared). I'm hopeful for the shawl. It took a year to knit. I did have some 'downtime' when there were problem rows and 'unknitting occurred frequently, but it was a challenging project, and I mostly enjoyed working on it.

Gayle Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 They all look like blue ribbon and best in show winners to me. The shawl is exquisite and where did you find the wallpaper for the room box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookmarm Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hey Gayle! That was a 'Natasha' micrographics Williamsburg mural I got at PJ's a few years ago. Gonna put a second mural of the same on the outside. hummm...never know which way judges lean on these things. They did NOT care for my 1/2 scale Fairfield last year (it got a second place, but they did not award a first place). Took just as much work as a full scale house.

havanaholly Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Ahhhh, the Peacock Shawl!!! If that one doesn't get a blue ribbon & a Best in Show I'll be very surprised! Gayle, it's exquisite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see th before mentioned cats in the back ground of the pecock shawl. Looks like they are ready to help you again. The shawl is exquisit (sp?). Your roombox and lincoln home are so beautiful. You;'ll get blue ribbons for sure. Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
