One of heget’s original elven heraldric devices for Amarië of the Vanyar, loved by Finrod Felagund. It’s such a simple but beautiful design.
Since this is put in a lozenge and not a circle, I take this as a family symbol for Amarie’s family as a whole. I’m pretty sure I’m going to do another one in a circle with a little more true to life flowers. I guess some sort of wildflowers but idk which ones yet.
The background took the longest. Some nice concentric circles.

Sewing doll updates:

  1. Red/blue plaid puffy babydoll top/shorts for Supergirl- done
  2. Short tartan nightgown (as of right now for Batgirl because why not)- done
  3. Finished the black and yellow print summer pajama set for Bumblebee (the ruffles were a pain)
  4. Long-sleeve ragline white/green top – done. Realized it’s long enough to be a sleepshirt on its own, so planning to make a second short-sleeve t-shirt to go with pajama bottoms. Currently hemming long green pajama bottoms. Add Green Lantern logo to t-shirt after I make it. Be sad I don’t have a Jessica Cruz doll. Debate buying a second Wonder Woman and instead of calling her Donna Troy, reroot with either solid black or brown and try to repaint eyes green or brown. “GL” set will work for one of the Ivy and Starfire.
  5. Wonder Woman’s psuedo Ancient Greek white and gold nightie based off the webisode- a nightmare, but almost done. Glue drying.
  6. Plans for at least one more Batman-esque themed nightgown, one long white frothy one, and then to finish the red dress and see if I can start the secret Halloween project. 
  7. Also finally repainted the lips and redid the eyebrows of the first Supergirl doll so her face doesn’t look identical to Super of Krypton. “Stephanie” can rejoin the group.

So I’ve been sewing doll clothes as my stress relief for this week (hey, having to do everything via hand-stitch means those long straight seams, while tediously annoying, are just enough to keep me occupied during lunch breaks). And they’re been going out really cute! I want to wait until I have the set finished, but my theme has been to try to make a nightgown or pajama set for each one, vaguely on theme with what fabric and patterns I have. (alas, for all my purple, it’s all calico instead of a nice stretch fabric, so poor Kori.) maybe I’ll try to also make a small-scale pillow or two for set dressing, but hopefully some low quality iPhone pictures of the outfits by this Sunday.
