I was back at my machine this morning to finish up my June block for the cocorico bee. This is for Amy, who asked for blocks with an art studio theme. I chose to do an artist's drawing mannequin. It's a bit awkward, and been said to resemble C3PO if sewn in gold lamé (thanks Krista). But I'm glad I was able to tackle it.
Last week I also completed a much overdue block (due in April!) for Charise. She asked for houses with a Victorian style. I was able to fussy cut fabrics to add more detail. I feel like I'm finally starting to get this paper piecing stuff!
I hope you're having a great weekend! Back to the sewing room. I've got some catching up to do.

luvin' the mannequin and the house is too cute =)
These are amazing Krista! Love them!
I think your mannequin is awesome. It's the jaunty position of the arms and angled head that immediately reminded me of C3PO's posture!
Your definitely in a groove! These are both awesome blocks and I am so glad that one of them is for me! Thank you! I love my mannequin.
Hands down you are the most inspiring blogger to me. I love your work and want to copy everything you do;)
Could you do a Tutorial about how on earth you go about this? perhaps something slightly more simple....These are sooo amazing, especially the man!!! but I cannot even begin to figure out how you would go about doing this!!!
Thanks
I agree the jaunty angle of his arms and also the joints are reminiscant of C3PO which is not a bad thing at all. I have no doubt he was patterned after an artists mannequin! :0)
In any case this is a perfect block for an Artist Studio theme.
Your paper-pieced blocks are just getting better and better! Love these blocks so much!
