Batik Doll Inspiration

These are the dolls that inspired my adventures in batik. As you can see, I borrowed heavily in the stripes and checks department. This idea was in one of the many books that I got at an estate sale awhile back. I swear, the woman had every craft book spanning the 60s, 70s, and 80s — I bought nearly all of them.

In the past few years I've been lucky enough to happen upon, or be passed down, several people's craft stashes: Peggy's mom's yarn, Bob's mom's sewing supplies, Kathy's mom's vintage fabric and patterns, to name a few. I feel very honored to be able to give these things a good crafty home. I enjoy thinking about these woman and the things they made with these same supplies. I hope that when I'm gone that my stash finds a welcoming next generation to inspire.

I love all of your batik dolls. I also like your sentiments of crafty stuff handed down to you. I have a small bit of stuff to hand to you!

hasta manana.

I like the fact that you think about the people from whom you have inherited craft supplies. I think about my mom, and her mom, every time I can vegetables.

I am so happy you are the recipient of my Mother's yarn goodies. By the way, I have more:). She would be pleased to know someody can use her treasures. You are so right about finding the craft supplies or even the painting supplies as we are getting ready to paint Chelle's house.

I'm glad to see that other crafters think about where their supplies will go when they're gone! My husband thinks I'm creepy when I talk like that but I just can't help about it. It must be a crafter thing!
