Mo's Challenge # 118

You Old Sew and Sew!

Pat Frank has chosen our theme for this week, and her challenge is for us to create a card or project using stitching.  You can either haul out your sewing machine, sew by hand, or do faux stitching with a marker or gel pen. I love to sew on cards, but this time I used a marker and faked it!

  

I used Mo's adorable little Romani (Gypsy)  girl, "Georgia" for my card.  I used colors and embellishments that I feel are reminiscent of their  culture. It was by chance that I found ribbon in my stash that perfectly  matched the way I had colored the trim on her vest! I wish that I had given her a darker skin tone for more authenticity. I may darken it before I put the card out for sale.

The little hand-painted pottery basket was made in Czechoslovakia.
