Caw of the Crow


Luck of the Irish Annie
by Gretchen Waggoner

In Gretchen's words:

"This gal is 22 inches tall!!
Made her out of muslin
that has been all stained up!!
Her face has a felted red nose
and warm and natural eyes that
have been hand-sewn on!!

Her eyes are also made out of
2 old big buttons!!!
Her lil' eyelashes, brows and mouth
are all sewn on with embroidery thread!!

Crazy hair is funky reddish yarn
that I sewed on and tied into place!!!
Now.. her lil' shirt is made out of warm
and natural and I drew a lil' shamrock
freehand on some green felt and
sewn that baby on there!!

Yippie!!
She has a funky green material
I picked up as her lil' skirt!
Both have been stained up as well!!!

Let's talk shoes now....
Those cuties are painted on with
black paint and buttoned up with
2 old funky pearl-like buttons!!
I think they match her outfit just perfect!!!

Her bouquet of flowers are once again
my famous old "yoyo's" that I have sewn
a button into the middle of and added
rusty wire for the stems!!

Yippie!

Annie's hang tag reads...
"Luck of the Irish" and
is pinned to her lil' shirt!!

She is made to sit or hang..
whichever you'd like!!"
