The Elephant Circle Mirrors

I just completed four new Elephant Circle Mirrors, out of fabric scraps, ex-blankets, and old LP record albums. One Blue Satin, one Orange Satin, a Purple Denim one, and a Pink Woven one.

They’re all for sale now over at my Etsy shop here.

This one is the Original Rocky Soundtrack. Also made are Neil Young, Elvis Costello, and Big Country. It was slightly sad to kill these albums. But there they are!

With a pile of snapped needles and a few purple fingertips to testify. Maybe I’ll be able to make some by Sunday’s craft fair! Let the sewing go on, by Sunday I will be a cripple…
