Remember when I posted the sketch for my mom’s crochet painting?
Here’s the finished piece!
It came out a bit differently than I thought, but still cute, if I do say so myself! They are supposed to be little steamed buns or dumplings: bao bao! BaoBao is also my mom’s dog’s name. I hadn’t really planned on stuffing the dumplings/buns, but it just sort of happened. I had no idea how I wanted to execute the bamboo steamer when I first sketched it, and that proved to be kind of the most challenging part.
In related news, I was super duper happy that my Galactic Donuts sold last week! It’s the first crochet painting I’ve ever gotten money for! I actually have a new one coming up very very very soon. It was supposed to be for Valentine’s Day, but I didn’t have time to finish it. I am still knee-deep in all my bookkeeping and tax prep for 2011. Let’s not talk about that! 😛
OMG! That has got to be the cutest dim sum bao I’ve ever seen. Awesome job!
HOLY HOT DOGS

Everything you do is magic!
Dayum gurl. That’s badass 😉

Oh my goodness!! That is so beautiful Twinkie, your Mom must be so happy to receive such a gorgeous gift!!!! Keep up the amazing work!1
I actually love the idea of a “chrochainting”! Because I don’t think I would use too much other crocheted stuff. This dumpling one is so cute!!
O.M.G. – they are adoraaaaable!
This leads to inspiration for a ghost ‘painting’! 😉
Aw, I loved the galactic donuts one you did, and was definitely wanting to buy it, but knew I’d not have the money anytime soon for it 🙁 But I suppose I’m glad someone else will revel in it’s happiness aaaand that you’ve got some cash for your first one!
Ok now that’s just too stinkin cute! I love the little dumplings : )
