Liberty Snips: A Sketch

Liberty Snips
Sketch MAG, 2012

These liberty snips were given to me long ago as a gift by a dear neighbor, Polly.  She and her husband Dave have family in England, and whenever they visited, they brought me back a sweet little gift. This particular gift has become a favorite of my sewing tools.

There is an oriental-looking lady attached by a sea-colored ribbon. Her skirt holds potpourri and the tag reads:

"LIBERTY"

"Since 1875 Liberty has been synonymous with the creation of original and unique designs. Famous the world over, Liberty of Regent Street, in the heart of London is a veritable treasure trove of inspiring and exciting products housed in Liberty's historic Tudor building.  Liberty provides an unparalleled shopping experience."



 I decided to practice sketching today, and thus the snips are memorialized!  After sketching, I took a quick picture of the subject.  Here are the snips in realistic detail:
