This is similar to yesterday’s snowman project (I thought he needed some company), a snowmom. Start the same as yesterday.

You see these blue lines? I wished later I had used pencil. The blue pen bled through the acyrlic and I had to use 3 coats on spots to get it to go away. Grr.

I wanted her to stand independant, so I cut off the bottom of one side, the other flap will make a base. Now she’s stitched together and turned (I left a much bigger whole this time to stuff the shredded office paper in, which made it easier even if it means more hand sewing later).

Stuffed and stitched:

Here’s the whip stitching I did on the bottom, I just folded and pinned the fabric under and went to:

I left off using the diluted glue to stiffen the fabric before painting. This saved me a day of drying time, but I ended up using more paint. Time or paint? This is cheap paint. I’ll have my time please.

This time I applied the paint with a little sponge paint roller I got at the store. It worked pretty good, but still needed a brush to get into the nooks.

After two painting sessions (have to let one side dry and paint the other later), I improvised her a cap (with jingle bells) and scarf from scrap corduroy:

Beads again for the nose and buttons:

What’s missing? Could it be her son?

No, there he is. The eyes really struck me as too flat on this larger snow girl, so after much deliberation I added dimensional black glitter fabric paint:

Much better, now her eyes sparkle!

Ex amore victoria!
