Lazy Animals in Mobiles

Lazy Animals in Boxes

Here's a first taste of something I've been working on for a while. I have upcycled some old wooden sewing boxes, to make homes for my finger puppets. These homes can be hung on a wall or put on a shelf for decoration. The puppets are placed on little poles so they can be taken out for a play from time to time.j

These boxes and other surprises, which I will post about in the next couple of days, will be on sale this weekend at Karen Shavit's promising spring Collage Sale, where I will share a stand with my talented childhood friend Inbal and her beautiful girls' dresses, aprons and babushka dolls. The boxes will also be available on my Etsy shop starting hopefully next week.m

Work

Some days the only thing you can do is knit (and blog). This my portable knitting kit today:g

 

Here's a glimpse to something else I'm working on - little boxes for my finger puppets. More photos of the completed ones hopefully coming up soon. h

These are upcycled vintage sewing boxes, the ones that open up like a staircase. If you have one like this that you don't need, and would like to trade it for a handmade finger puppet of your choice, please let me know!g
