My funny flying duck.
Yes, I stole the kids geometric blocks. Yes I stole them and stuck fabric on them. Shhh!! They'll never know....
We were playing with them one day and I was thinking about Liz's invitation to be part of the Flight of Ducks exhibition. Desperately trying to think of something to make that was not too labour intensive to craft, I played about with the blocks and came up with the shape.
Then I was inspired by Hilachas over in Texas and her patchwork prowess so I decided to cover each piece with fabric. After that it was just a matter of sticking the whole arrangement onto a canvas for display. I would have liked it to be a free flying duck on wood but my jigsaw cutting skills are not up to the task.It was good fun! Thanks Liz for the challenge and the creative push along!
Well I must admit that when Liz from Gleaners inc put out the call to crafters to get ducky and join in the "Flight of Ducks" exhibition I didn't think I'd make anything. It's such a busy time of year, and as a fellow sister outlaw said, "we need to be thinking of crackers not quackers!"
But once I had a spark of an idea and a play around, I decided I could think of something to make that was achievable in time. Here's a sneak peak!
The opening is tomorrow night. Unfortunately it clashes with a work Christmas party so I won't be able to flap about there in excitement at all the crafty ducks.
But fortunately, I have Susan Friend's Christmas party tips from 1959 to help me get ready. Apparently I just squeeze lemon juice all over myself and then sprinkle myself with sugar. For a "frosty" look.
