Pandora part 347 …

at least it feels that way – but I thought it was time to show what her and I have been up to lately!

Because Pandora has arms now – and I find her so … gentle, kind, thoughtful, supportive and caring – and there is a “Go Forth my Child”-feeling about her … don’t you think?

Maybe I’m just projecting that onto her – because that is how I wanted to portray her – as a Mama to her Travellers, telling them that they should go, they should travel, learn, explore and that she will be right there behind them all the time, waiting at home for when they have stretched their wings a bit and need a rest – only to go right back to the airport once fed, rested and loved!

OK – I’m on a roll … let’s get to the pictures shall we …

Still lots more to do on her – a crown, a collar and some more embellishments … so by the time she’s done it’ll be post number 528 about Pandora – but I sure hope you are enjoying following her progress as much as I’m enjoying bringing her to life!

I Love my Buttons!!!

… and I keep plodding along!

I have finally finished the inside of the gourd.

On “The Seven Sins” by Marilyn – she uses a lot of leaves but I just do not feel that it goes with my piece at all and while I was out shopping yesterday I decided to get some fancy wide lace with the world map on it.

I love it!

And look at those buttons – my mailbox gets a little bit of buttons every day from somewhere fancy in the world.

I love my worldly friends and family!

Here’s a full look of the inside … what do you think?

My little travellers will be snug as bugs in there – and dreaming of places they’d like to go to!

And then while I had all those lovely buttons out I finally decided on a pattern for my board because I wasn’t quite sure what to do …

I am loving all these buttons – and to be honest I wasn’t sure I would but knowing that they are from all over the world and some of them are from my dear Aunt Nancy whom we lost a year ago … I cannot tell you how special this piece is becoming to me!

Today I will put some feet on Pandora – so she can go places too!
