Introducing the Penny People

November is when I begin to focus rather obsessively on doll and bear and ball making.  Somehow once the leaves fall I start thinking about toys.  These Penny People represent my latest results.  Why Penny??  Well, there's a penny sewn into the bottom under the red felt base to provide flatness and weight so that they stand up better.  And these dolls are made almost entirely from leftover scraps from making the bigger dolls.  Plus they're little -- about 4 inches tall.  So they are penny pinching, penny sized, and have an actual penny in the feet.  They are for sale on my Etsy site if you would like to get one or two of your own.

    About Martha


    The Threads of Meaning is a collection of my hand made creations and the materials I use to make them.  I quilt, sew, spin, knit, crochet, weave, make dolls, rugs (hooked and braided) and tat. I have had articles in Art and Antiques (May 2001) and American Quilter (Ultimate Projects 2004). I have sold work to the State of Hawaii and some very dedicated private collectors. I dye my own fibers and use vintage and new materials. I tend to prefer traditional techniques and natural materials used in innovative ways.
