Fall is here...scarecrows are here too

    I've been very busy finishing new scarecrows. You can find them on my website . They are listed under What's new and come in 3 sizes: 18" tall, 26" tall and 35" tall. They're made of fabric with rag stuffed bodies so they sit well. They all have a generous quantity of raffia spilling from sleeves and pant legs as well as raffia hair. The handmade hats are stiffened burlap. The pants are denim.
    The faces are hand embroidered with hand applique'd noses and blushed cheeks. Each scarecrow has something to hold. One has a handmade painted fabric pumpkin, another has a handmade cloth crow and the large one captured a huge handmade crow that's trying to fly away. They're designed to be indoor decorations (or at least in a sheltered area) but I've heard from customers who've kept them outdoors and not protected and they are just fine (I don't advise that...I'm just passing along what I've been told).

I've been published in the newest issue of Prims magazine

I've been published in Prims magazine.  There are so many very talented people are in the issue and it's such an honor to be included. You'll find stories about my Vintage inspired Santas as well as another story about some of my witches.

The scarecrows are coming

 Scarecrows are being listed as quickly as I can make them. These are so cute. 18" tall and made of fabric with lots of lovely shredded raffia, they have embroidered features. The scarecrow on the left is all muslin with orange blushed cheeks and a handmade crow. The one on the right has a head made from a fabric that looks like miniature burlap and holds a handmade pumpkin with a real stem. They are available on my website, Lucy's Lazy Dayz Primitives. I've given the link to the Halloween section.

New Witchy dolls

 I've been playing with new ideas. You see more and more white and odd colored pumpkins in the farmer's markets and that inspired the witch on the left. She's 29" tall and very elegant. Her features were hand stitched in place with fine black thread and it looks like hairs or bits of cobweb in a close up view. Check her out on my website or in my Etsy shoppe Lucy's Lazy Dayz Folk Art.  The photos enlarge nicely when you click on them.
     The witchy woman on the right was inspired by some scraps of black and brown fabric that landed in the same pile after I cut out something else. they looked so nice together, they inspired a black witch dressed in black and brown. Both of these and more are listed on my website under Halloween.  

New Listings for Fall

This is Scarlet O'haira. She's the new listing on my Lucy's Lazy Dayz Folk Art Etsy Shoppe.

I've made her to stand by constructing her with dowels inside her legs.  She's made of fabric and has a needle sculpted nose and body and her eyes and lips are "painted" with Prismacolor pencils. She looks a bit frazzled with her silky, stringy red hair. Her hat is adorned with black fabric roses and she carries a handmade broom...made of miniature pip berry twigs so it's not going to break.

You'll find several new listings there for fall AND everyday.
