split personality

When I'm working om some technique 

(like felting figures at the moment)

ideas will come bubbling up

which lead to

new projects

...

Another thing to try to accomplish

Only a rough start ...

but then :

I knew "exactly" where I was heading

thin layer upon thin layer "it / she" was growing

Ohhhh ... attaching the arms is such a pain ! 

Making hands also

And finally, late at night, there she was :

(photographed the next day)

my little mermaid

the split personality

...... half I'm it and half I'm she .....

Ahhhhhh, it brought back memories

of the lovely Esther Ofarim

singing this song in her mermaid suit on Dutch television in 1964

(o, my ..... thát long ago ?)

And the next one

but not yet finished

I almost forgot :

remember my dear friend H ?

(at the moment in South Africa,

 where she, among other things,

is sponsering a village school with lots of LEGO)

She gave me another bag of goodies

lovely lace and the finest embroidered batiste you've ever seen

Thank you !
