My Stars and Stripes project is finally done, well as far as I want to take it. I added some beads, the really cool ladies and some screen mesh stars that I cut out and textured. It is ok but nothing great.

I am really concentrating on Mrs. Keys at the moment and trying to work my way through the next steps. I have most of her body assembled out of fabric and some clay, now I need to decide if I am going to cover that fabric with clay or (if I can find my gesso) just paint it. Then the clothes which I just keep changing my mind on. Another lesson learned is that when I painted her head and face, I gave little thought about the paint I mixed for the color and now have the task of trying to match it. Wish me some luck with that because I was not really thinking about it and it could be hard to match now ....after the fact. I also want to try my hand at some free motion embroidery with my machine and I am fairly certain that I cannot drop the feed dog on either of my machines. Didn't they use to make a feed dog cover back in the day? I will have to ask my Mom that one.
