Creating the paper pattern of Silver Gull.
I'm currently working in collaboration with artist/illustrator Rachel Arthur. She has illustrated 7 fabulous Australian coastal birds that I'm transforming into a range of art toys to become part of the Flying Star Toy world.
We both have a love of folk art and a desire to evolve an iconography of our local environment. This coastal bird series of art toys (7 int total) are all birds found in the local environment around Brisbane Australia.
Black Swan, Silver Gull and Australian Pelican will shortly be exhibitioned in Sydney.

This is the USS AMPHION information card. AMPHION was a repair ship that served in U.S. Navy. These kinds of cards were handed out at the quarterdeck to visitors as a way to advertise what the repair ship offered by way of services. As you can see, there was very little that a repair ship couldn't do!
AMPHION was the first ship in this class of repair ships, the second ship in the U.S. Navy to bear the name, and was in commission from 1946 through late September, 1971, when she was decommissioned and transferred to Iran. Her entry in the Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships (DANFS) must have been made very early in her career. www.hazegray.org/danfs/auxil/ar13.htm , so I have included her Wikipedia page here for further details. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Amphion_(AR-13)
In 1961, at the time this card was made, the ship was commanded by Captain Herb Rommel www.herbrommel.com/ Captain Rommel later served as President of the Universal Ship Cancellation Society (USCS), and was well-known as a dedicated naval officer and collector. He had a very interesting and active naval career which is outlined on this website: graemejwsmith.com/herb/navy.htm
The Universal Ship Cancellation Society (USCS) is an international philatelic organization founded in 1932. The Society promotes the study of the history of ships, their postal markings and postal documentation of events involving the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Merchant Marine, and other Navy and maritime organizations of the world.
Society members are interested in the philatelic and cachet markings used by military and civilian ships alike.
Collectors may be interested in the ship, its postmark, the unofficial cachet that occasionally appears on the envelope, special markings used by the ship or postal service, and, of course, the stamp. Collectors also focus on specific ports, countries, actions, types of ships, activities, special markings (such as censor's marks or air mail markings) and other information.
You will find the Society's webpage at www.uscs.org, and the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/groups/uscsnavalcovers/ .
The USCS is offering a special one-year $10 new membership offer. New members will receive the monthly award winning 32-page USCS Log with great articles on naval/maritime history featuring covers & photos along with other benefits. www.uscs.org/join-uscs/
New members are welcomed from around the world and gain access to the Society’s award-winning monthly magazine, the USCS Log.
Technically speaking, this card is not philatelic in nature. That said, most collectors will amass collections of material related to their interests that help explain background not otherwise available to them. As it turns out, this card, printed aboard AMPHION, of course, was just the right size to be slipped into an envelope responding to a collectors request, and thus is clearly related to our collecting interests. (It also helps that I received this card from Captain Rommel himself during a visit to his retirement home in Newport RI).

the 'table' is actually a piece of board on the couch. not ideal conditions for patternmaking, cutting cloth or sewing. i have to keep moving my two machines up and down.
padding out penelope to be a facsimile of me for patternmaking/draping purposes. this brassiere is actually the least granny-ish of the grannies. and i am not as lumpy as penelope, of course, as her boobies are made of cotton batting, and mine are not. :P

Finally got going on something I've wanted to do since I was a kid...but even now, may not have the skill to complete ! I've wanted to make different versions of Timey Tell's issue dress since the 70s, and only now have I worked up the bravery to try.
It helps that I'm mildly ticked off at TRU, UPS, and MH. See if I ever pre-order anything again. Anyway...I figured I'd take apart a vintage Timey dress, use it for a pattern - I even had one, in good shape, just faded next to the other two I own. But I just can't do it. So I dragged out the lightbox instead, and tried to trace the faded dress onto paper, then made a few measurements, a bunch of adjustments, and I soon had a paper pattern of the jumper bodice. I figured I'd start with the 'print' part of Timey's dress first.
First one had armholes too small, but I fixed that, and it fit really well ! Gathered more material for a skirt, and sewed them together. If nothing else, I now have an original Timey Tell jumper pattern !
The next part, the pink sleeves and faux-blouse, are gonna be more of a challenge. Like many Mattel doll garments, Timey's issue dress looks like it's two pieces, a jumper and a blouse, but it's a one-piece dress instead. I think I've got a good handle on the sleeves, but the blouse-bodice is just plain odd.
Hopefully I can get it worked out tomorrow. While I'm waiting for a box to arrive that our local store has had in stock for three days now. grrrrrrr.....
