These are awesome and cool and make me want to do a lot more fiber.
They initially appealed because M loves strawberry stuff, but I'm not sufficiently ironic and hip to not cringe at the little Indian (the artist is Uruguayan, and doesn't have my guilt issues on the subject). Then I became enchanted by the use of the appliques. Maybe they could be ironed onto fabric and cut out?
By the way, I bought some awesome enameled bells for M from this seller; impressively swift shipping! I got some chihuahua bells and some strawberry ones, which were sold with this lovely lovely style shot:
The transition there was strawberries. Yeah. Now hold onto your powdered wigs, ladies and gents, I'm making a sharp U-turn back to fiber.
I have some cabochons which are clear acrylic and magnify what's underneath, and I'm considering going through M's and my (mostly her) quilting fabric stash for small patterns that would look nice under a fisheye magnification. I think this might be a nice, easy, lower-priced assembly project, maybe with a little beading -- I really am starting to work at a level I need to charge higher prices for, so it would be good to have a lower-end point-of-sale or niece-gift product which doesn't scream, "I'm reselling pot metal shaped by small children in Malaysia or Hong Kong!" (Actually, Hong Kong is supposed to be tightening up regulations, last I heard. Snaps for Hong Kong if this is the case.)
Fiber. Strawberries.
I used hemp and polyester ribbon in this one:

TERRIBLE light. Dear God, I need to retake those.
Yeah, this post is not remotely topical.
