Lately I've been working on a knock-off of my
Knock-Down Dolls... and making these fun little Tillie Pillows!
Thanks to
Spoonflower.com I found an affordable way to print my designs on fabric... Woohoo! And because that makes life so simple... I even created a custom back, filled with tons of imagery (drawn by me) from Tillie's old house... The Palace in Asbury Park.
For some of the pillows I added arms made of ribbon.
On others, I added fluffy vintage trim.
And some of them I distressed to make look like old folk art dolls.
Having the fabric made things run so much more smoothly, that I had time to work on making more Knock Down Dolls! See how happy they are to be relaxing in the sun? Me too!
I was on such a roll I even thought of trying something new... using vintage tacks to secure the Knock Down doll to its base... just like the real old-timey ones!
All-in-all it's been a busy week, but tons of fun. So nice to get away from the computer and get my hands on my favorite guy!
Wow, this will be a huge time saver, brilliant idea to have them printed so all you have to do is be creative with their make up!
