Here Come the Brides!

[wiseheart]

No, this has nothing to do with the similarly-named TV-series from the Stone Age, featuring Mark Lenard (which I, sadly, never saw and only read about it in the Star Trek novel titled "Ishmael"). It's about the wedding fever that's broken out at my school - namely, three young colleagues getting married during summer break.

So, first here is the front cover of the envelope journal I made for Gaby:



There will be more pics about the inside, perhaps even a video later (*crosses fingers*), I just wanted to show it off. It's a bit crooked and uneven, the poor thing, I still suck at using double-sided adhesive tape and other such stuff, but I'm quite happy with it.

Then I made plushies for the three brides. First the front view:



The back view is less spectacular, but there are a few lovely details, too, that would be a shame to miss:



The recipients are - from the left to the right - Edith, Alexandra and Gaby. I hope the girls are going to like the little felt dolls because I worked very hard on them. Considering that each one is small enough to fit into my palm, you can imagine the detail work they cost me. But again, no work of love is ever wasted, right? :)

They are lucky to have you as a colleague.
Those are amazing!

Thanks. :) They are three nice, lovely girls who more than deserve to have a little something as a gift.

I love them.

Cute, aren't they? *g*

Oh wow that is a lot of detail work - and with them being so small, I can only imagine how fiddly it must have been! Lucky ladies who get them!

They are so friendly and nice and loveable, they more than deserve it.
But you are right, it was fiddly work beyond belief. I liked making them, but I'm glad they're finished.

Beautiful keepsakes! Your work is just lovely.

Years ago I did felt work projects for my Mom and my M-I-L. Beginner level stuff, but it took hours and hours of tiny stitches. It got to be quite painful by the end.
When I look at the gorgeous detail on the bride plushies, I am so impressed!

Thank you. They were certainly a lot of work, but I'm quite pleased with the outcome.
By the way, did you realize that summer pico is coming up? I've posted an entry to the comm if people want to have a summer session, but so far nobody seems to be around.
