A New Day and what to make, hmm


Well as I stated in the previous post there were some copyright issues. I did hear from Ute regarding this and she assured me that it was ok for me to continue to post my progress. I thanked her and let her know that I indeed was having a fun time working on her pattern.

With that said I have decided to go with my original plan before I came upon the troll pattern. I was in the process of working on my own patterns and was making a female elf of my own. I have decided to do just that, work on my own creations. I came to this decision due largely in part to the events that I've dealt with over the last year. It seemed there was always someone, somewhere, deciding what and how and when events should and shouldnt be happening. I felt like that with this episode of copyright issues. I have some knowledge of copyrights with a magazine that I was in the process of putting together many years ago. Sounds very glamorous doesnt it, it was, for a while. It was a small project that struck my creative edge and I gave it a try for a short time. I did some research for that project in the copyright arena and gained some knowledge in the process. So suffice to say that I have chosen to work on my own creations and not venture off into the land of someone else's power field.

I have enough creative energy and ideas to keep me busy for a very loooooong time so here we go :D

I have been working on a pattern for an elf, a female this time. She will be my own from top to bottom. We will start from the head and work from there. I will draw the entire doll first but won't bombard you with all the bits and pieces, just the head. Of course the head is where all the personality comes from anyway and that just spurs you on to invent and create more! It always seems to me that once I have the head in progress that the name just seems to pop into my mind. I can't wait to see what creative being comes together next.

Ok, I've got my excited, creative energy in full rev!! Im off to the sewing room (you know, I should name that too, the way people name cars :)) to retrieve my drawing inventory and continue the pattern drawing process. I will return with some good, no, GREAT ideas and a beautiful, womanly elf for all of my readers to join in the fun with! :)

Be back soon,

Michelle
