When fall weather blows in, I start dreaming of warmer weather and exotic locales. Usually, dreaming is as far as it goes. Travel is a lot of work, so instead of packing up, I head to my fabric stash.
After posting UrbAnimals, several people suggested ideas for animal dolls. A flamingo was the most popular suggestion, and Whittlewoman's suggestion for an ostrich sounded fun. Although there is a great deal of paint on these dolls, they have added dimension with fabric and yarn feathers.
