My oldest daughter, Brandy, who doesn't think she's creative....

She has an etsy shop, BarefootBananas, but doesn't think of herself as creative at all. I think she's wrong about that. I love these guys she created so much I wanted to show you this week... The descriptions underneath are hers, copied from the etsy page....

 

 

 

Vladimir, the ugly shark

sharks get such a bad rap. Poor Vlad just wants someone to swim with. Does this face look viscous to you??? Alas forever alone... and ugly.

 Boris is simple. He does not understand that he is ugly nor does he care. leave him be and all will be well...
Boris is roughly 6 inches tall and made of grandma's ugly fabric scraps!

 T double-E double-R double-R double-I double-F double-I double-C, C, C. That's some ugly pig!

Phyllis was all set to play the role of the pig in Charlotte's web but lost the part to Wilbur's good looks and boyish charm. I wouldn't bring it up she's still a little salty...

 Klawd is an ugly koala, and he doesn't apologize for it. love it or leave it.

 

Here's the group in my daughter's etsy shop....

 

And since it is Paint party Friday and Haiku My Heart I thought I needed a piece I made and wrote so here's a quick one...

 

 

 

Still drawing black lines

another unfinished piece

too many to count

 

 

Lines and thoughts criss cross

Not confused yet overdone

should I simplify?

This is the new creation my daughter and I have been working on...
We made it out felt, and after sewing the base, we made an owl that tucks into a "branch" of the pine tree, we made a swan, a turtle, 3 bears, a bunny to eat th eblue flowers , all 3 bears can fit into the cave, We made  a beaver and a stump with mushroom that can be moved around. Oh, and there's a little blue bird that's tucked in the tree attached to the cave.This was so much fun to make together! We did it all without patterns, just decideing how it should look as we went. It's for sale in her new esty shop: Barefootbananas

Thanks for stopping by and checking it out. We have so many plans to make other nature scenes, other biomes, the tundra is next...
We really hope some little girl or boy might enjoy playing with this set!

Whimsical wednesdays!

This submission is actually made by my daughter, not by me, for her new etsy shop. There's a link to it at the right. It's called Barefootbananas. We're both having fun making cool little felt things!
