"The Raven" Workshop

It's good to be back online! We can finally show you some pictures from our October workshop with artist Cindee Moyer. She was a delightful teacher and everyone really enjoyed the 2-day workshop. We made her design, called "The Raven." Here is the flock. In these pictures, they were pretty much finished. Just a few details were left to be completed at home. The sign was made by the daughter of one of our club members, who was a great little assistant! The rest of us were wishing we had one :)

The doll was a fairly easy pattern. She sits atop a straw nest (no legs to sew & stuff) surrounded by black feathers, her tulle skirts fluffing out around her.

Cindee's dolls all have lovely, delicate features.Raven's head is wrapped in black trim topped with angelina fibers & a black "hackle plate" (a feathery embellishment shaped in a half circle, can be found at craft stores) & she has shoulder epaulets of feathers left over from the nest.She's holding a glittery mask & a copy of Poe's "The Raven" (what else?)

It's so fun to see many different renderings of the same pattern!
