I was cruising around on Etsy the other day and did a search in their vintage section for felt ornaments. Lo and behold . . . these popped up!
I immediately downloaded the pictures because I knew the ornaments would sell and they'd be gone before I could study them. It's a good thing I did, because someone bought them the next day. At first glance, I thought they were all Carolyn DeAngelis patterns. I know for sure some of them are. The Mexican boy on the left in the turquoise poncho is Pacos. The native American girl on the right is Sweet Siouxzee. I have a few international patterns that I'm not super familiar with, so I checked them. None of what I have matches anything here. Hmmmmmmmm . . . .
And here's where the plot thickens. There was something about that Mayan Indian boy on the bottom right that seemed familiar to me for some reason. I have a file of pictures that I keep on my computer with ornament ideas. Various things . . . clipart that I think I can adapt or other pictures that I think could make good ornaments. I did a check and look what I found:
Coincidence? I think not! Now I'm wondering if the picture on the right is from a pattern book! And how can it get it if it is??? Anybody have any information about these?
Worse case scenario: I'll be designing some new patterns! I'm particular fond of the matador & his senorita . . . the Irish couple . . . and the Scottish dancer in his kilt. Which ones are your favorites?
