Whlie the textures are super cool on the cocoons and you did a FABULOUS job capturing them, but to be honest...they kinda weird me out!! ;)

And aren't your wooden kids just the greatest!?

You'll have to keep track of what is in the cocoons. I like the milkweed (?) seeds in the last shot.

Sara said...

The last shot is stunning! The color and softness is so pretty.

Your dolls are coming out great- hoping for the best with your babies-to-come!

Those cacoons are amazing. I love how you can see very little last detail of the fibers. Beautiful.

When Heather posted those little guys, I thought you were ACTUALLY getting twins for a second. I thought I had totally missed out on the news. I think of you daily, Leah and hope that your baby, or babies will be home in your arms soon, Love.
