ghost

Here's a ghost toy I painted today. She's made of sewn muslin, with a few coats of gesso (sanded in between each coat), and acrylic craft paints for that lovely matte look.

I LOVED doing this. I'm planning on doing more. The Big Toy is long-term, which is hard for me. So although I continue to knit and knit the Big Toy at night, watching various police procedural TV programs as I do so, I want to take a moment here and there to do these smaller pieces. I guess I like instant gratification (which in my weird world means spending 6 hours on a project rather than 30!).
