Starting an Art Doll

I was inspired to cut some leaves of felt.... they are supposed to look like geranium leaves.  



How it happened was, I got the idea for a bottle doll having a geranium inside of it  -- so I went outside to make a sketch of the leaves of my favorite plant, a Bevan's geranium.  I also studied how the leaves grow, out of the rhizome. 


So, after cutting out 
 the leaves, I feel I am getting somewhere with my art-doll concept.... in the very first stages, now with bits and pieces.... and some hair draped around.  




Rejeuvenating a Moss Basket?

This soft moss basket I made several years ago, which holds paperclay painted eggs for Easter, is now brown and dry. 



 I wanted to see if I could green-up the moss again. I took it outside and sprayed it with water.  There was maybe a bit of green still in the bottom of it.... 

Will the water make it green up again?  I hope so.
