I spent the weekend at a lovely discharging workshop by Linda Thompson. She taught lots of different ways to take the color out of different kinds of fabrics. Here are a few of my results.
Another beaded doll ... this one is a little too large to be used as a pin (a little over 5" tall), so he may be fitted to a stand so that he can stand up. Beads on a wire form. The head is an antique button.
