This little picture has been made from a selection of different fabrics to create a cute quirky scene. whilst I have machine stitched the background fabrics together, all the little applique pieces after that have been hand drawn, cut then stitched in place. The sheep sitting on the fence is one of my own drawings and though I may do a similar scene no two are ever completely alike, making them a unique piece of art!
If its been made by me at Caren’s creative canvas and craft there is only ever one like it in existence. If you find there isn’t something you want on my Etsy shop, please feel to contact me about a new creation idea! Items seem to ”fly off the shelves” sometimes before I even get to show what I have made, as in this case, which I don’t mind at all, but if you feel you might have missed out on something, a request can always see another unique similar creation happen!!

For fun I knitted some embroidery thread on two tooth picks to give the impression that the sheep is knitting from the wool of the smaller green sheep in the dye dip tub. For the effects of fencing I used small strips cut from a tapestry backing and stitched them in place too. Some simple embroidered grasses and flowers to decorate the foreground, with the final finishing touch of placing it on a felt backing and bordering it with cream cotton and then quilting the sky fabric to create texture on the plain fabric!

Photographed again without glass for added detail without reflections then safely mounted and glass replaced.

Now back to that ever growing pile of fabric……

‘Doorstop Dumpy’ – Can I Have a Hug?

This is another of My ‘Doorstop Dumpies’ I designed the pattern for. This little tartan pig will certainly hold back any standard door. For interest I made him  a flat cap, and added some coordinating ribbon around his tummy and as a tie. The final touches were adding old buttons for a snout, eyes and colourful decoration and a brass ring on his nose!

As ever no two doorstops are ever the same making them unique!

Frog 'Doorstop Dumpy'

Frog ‘Doorstop Dumpy’

I have been designing and creating patterns for what I have called my ‘Doorstop Dumpies’. Sizeable and weighty little decorative characters for a practical purpose. Each and everyone – UNIQUE!

Meet my green, spotty, cotton fabric, frog ‘Doorstop Dumpy’ creation – Fredrick. Decorated with old buttons for eyes and around his waist trim, this rather handsome chap, dressed to the nines, has collar and velvet bow tie. He’s quite literally dressed to impress as he holds open the door for you whilst greeting you with a red ribbon rose!

‘Doorstop Dumpy’ – Handmade and Designed Character Doorstop

Lenny the Leprechaun

This is one of the many ‘Doorstop Dumpies’ I have designed patterns myself for, which make them totally unique. I may use the same pattern to recreate another ‘Dumpy’ but never the same materials in the same order. Therefore each is always a complete ‘One Off’ and unavailable in the shops! All my ‘Doorstop Dumpies’ are more than adequate to hold back any standard door, having an inner sealed cotton back of weighty cat litter, which is surrounded and stuffed very well with synthetic wadding.

Totally Toadstools!

Totally Toadstools!

This bag I designed for total visual impact. It was designed and made as a wheelchair accessory, with little loop handles approx 17″ apart, just perfect for hanging on the back of a wheelchair and to carry simple essentials. Made out of various cottons and deeply contrasting red felts with tiny buttons on the toadstools. It has a triple multi-pocket inside, one of which has a zip. the reverse(see thumbnail below) is of a simpler design, though still allows to be reversible. It also has two magnetic clasps.
