What good is a UFO Challenge if you don't finish any UFOs? I finished my first project - even though it took two months! - and it's time to choose another.
Here is the before picture:
I can hear you all asking - what the heck is that? Looks like a hand, huh? Well, this is a life-size hand and it was part of an online class on making doll hands. Judi Ward has a short class to help beginners cope with the ins and outs of stuffing fingers and all. The first step was to trace around your own hand, stitch in cloth, turn, and stuff. Well, I got to the last step and skipped ahead to itty bitty fingers! That was - oh - probably about 7 years ago!
I always planned to do something with this hand - some day. Guess the day has come. Yesterday I stuffed.
Now I plan to do some needle sculpting and decorating. I'm thinking wicked long fingernails! And a beaded bracelet of some kind. Then it will have to hold something. That blue and green to the right is a ball that is about the right size. Kinda plain, though.
For a quick project this is starting to sound complicated! Another two months?
