Reporter: I’m here in the countryside, having a yarn with Maggie the sheep about wool production…
Maggie: Yeah, it does take a lot out of you, growing wool all day, always doing stuff for other people … and then there’s my 2 little lambies too, they take up soooo much time …
Reporter: And what are your customers like?
Maggie: Oh knitters, they’re such lovely people, so friendly… although …
Reporter: Yes?
Maggie: I do wish they were a bit better at estimating how much wool they need … you wouldn’t believe the number of times they come back asking me for just one more ball of yarn … and of course, I can’t refuse!
Reporter: Well, that’s an interesting point Maggie, and it leads us on to our next segment, pattern-reading …
(after packing up)
Reporter: Umm Maggie, I didn’t want to mention it, but I think your shoulders are getting a little sunburnt
Maggie: Oh no! I was so worried this morning about the photo, I completely forgot my sunscreen!
So there you have it, an entry for Whiplash 5. I’ve been admiring the art dolls here and here for a while, not quite knowing how to start. Maggie is my first attempt at a doll (and Super Sculpey), and, yes, I won’t burn the shoulders or knock the ear off next time ;D Oh, and I realised that the joints I did might be better on a puppet.
