I made a little video about the Pixel People

The Pixel People are quirky little woven wonderfuls that I designed for the Lily Doll Project.

They began as doodles on graph paper and were so delightful that I had to weave them right away! They are very small, so they are quick to weave and are great little stash busters. (they’re 1 1/2 inch or 3.75 cm square). I always put a ‘Lucky Penny’ and a paper heart inside to make them even more good natured.

They should probably come with a warning that they are so much fun to weave that it becomes quite addictive to weave them. This is really okay, as people love them so much that the Pixel People jump merrily into other people’s hands and hearts and pockets, too.

There’s more information about the Lily Doll Project at www.tottietalkscrafts.com and the kits and pdf’s are available at https://mirrixlooms.com/lily

Happy happy weaving!

Here’s a link to a little slide show that I made when I was playing with some of the Pixel People that have flown away from the studio:

Pixel People

I find simple little things to be endearing. That’s how I feel about the woven Pixel People that are part of the Lily Doll Project.

I was inspired to design and weave the whimsical little Pixel People when I was sketching on graph paper (one of my most favorite design tools). I was doodling ‘inside the squares’ and started drawing cheerful little faces in the squares. I was captivated by their sweetness so one thing lead to another.

I warped up my Chloe loom and these quirky little darlings evolved from those simple sketches. I love them with their little circle hands and feet, but you can also play with other options, too. They have lucky pennies and good wishes hearts inside, so they have very good energy.

They are fun to carry in your pocket or attach jewelry findings and click them onto a zipper, bag or as a charm on a pouch, phone or other device.

Stitch a pin back on them to wear them as a pin. Glue a magnet to the back and they can live on the fridge or a lamp or other metal surface. These quirky little Pixel People are fun, easy and a delight to make!
