Stumpwork Portrait

I had to send a birthday card, and made this stumpwork portrait to fit into a window card.

It is so enjoyable to make these ladies, using up scraps of fabric and odd beads and rings from accessory making.

Unfortunately the photo is slightly out of focus.

Oh I just love your stumpwork ladies! It's fun to see a new one. She is very sophisticated with lovely blue eyes.

Your portraits are fabulous! From the tilt of her head to the glint in her eyes she's alive.

A bright eyed Lady and one who, doubtless, will be loved. She looks familiar to me also. I think I played tennis with her. Snazzy ear-rings!

That's a winner! Someone is going to be very happy.

Ooh! Very genteel lady! I have always loved your stumpwork and that I made watch over my sewing room (along with the one you gave me... Nope. She's in the living room! Elevated status!)
