Last week I posted about a collaborative project I am working on with Kristy of Fog and Swell. We sent eachother some fabrics that we will both use to make forest creatures and ocean creatures. Here is my pile at the beginning of last week.
Kristy started with ocean and made a stunningly beautiful crab with the red and pink hand-dyed linens we are using.

Today I finished the deer that I made from the wool and flour sack forest fabrics.
I will send him across the continent to Kristy and her crab will come to me. Then I'll make an ocean creature from the red and pink linen and she'll make a forest creature from the wool and flour sack. I'm really excited to see the two forest and two ocean creatures together. Creatures created with the same fabrics by different hands, the two of us thousands of miles away from eachother, but tied together by a shared passion for creating soft toys.
I really encourage you to reach out and propose a collaboration with someone you admire. The interaction and the challenge is fuel to the fire.
oh he looks so cool! i am excited to see him in person. i have shared a link to this post over on my fog and swell facebook page, and will be sure to mention him in my next blog post too so people can keep track of where we are at in the project.
What a great idea and beautiful collaboration project!
I love the deer you made. Do you have a pattern available?
Hi Helena,
I’m sorry, I don’t! Thank you, though.
