Crafty pics - I promised them, didn't I?
Sep. 7th, 2019 04:46 pmFirstly, the second (and last) batch of the felt and cork Christmas ornaments. These turned out a bit odd, especially the psychedelic reindeer, but I'm taking them to the fair nonetheless. Perhaps the older kids are more into weird stuff than the traditional kitsch. *g*

And my first attempt at the paper Russian dolls. I'm quite content with the design; the actual featuring could be finer, but this is the experimental piece anyway.
Outer layer - the biggest doll:

Middle layer, which still opens up:

And the inner layer. The smallest doll is glued on:

There will be some inscription on the as-yet empty left sides, like the date of the ball and/or "Welcome" in Russian, but this is, basically, what they will look like - only in several various colours and embellishments.
Pictures of my (hopefully) amazing chocolate-almond cake (currently in the oven) coming up tomorrow.
