Update


Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been rather ill as of late and haven't done much creative works. Unless you count snotty tissue rorshachs. Hah.

I'll be back and running soon with more work as soon as possible.

Thanks

Monster!


Click to go to the Flickr set!
This has been the most interesting commission I've gotten thus far! It's a mix of horse,bear, boar and monster! I learned quite a bit with this guy, and am happy to have finished such a crazy complex character!

Here's a teeny sleeping fox I made last week. For sale if anyone's interested!

He's fluffy,pudgy and adorable.

This guy really got me and was really hard to progress on, I have no idea why. Maybe it's my aversion to white.

Bunny!

Click to go to the Flickr set!
This lovely cute rabbit was so much fun to make! I enjoyed making everything and really love how she came out.

I didn't plan it that way, but if you raise her arms, they cover her eyes like peek-a-boo. The feet are weighted to support her,eyes are handpainted as always, and arms are (of course) poseable.

Stands at 10 1/2"

Bunny preview

No, it's not a llama, it's a bunny in progress. Sometimes it's neat to be in that stage where it could be anything, ajust the nose and it's a dog, short ears and it's a llama.


Starting to pick up the in progress orders I left when I was ill. Making progress with a few at a time goes much faster than just making one at a time. Make a few heads, make a couple of arms, sew some ears, etc.


Well back to my salad, then grabbing my hook.

Triceratops



Triceratops! I love dinosaurs and have been wanting to make him for a while, and I found some leftover bulky yarn and went to town! I had to buy a huge N hook for him and I love working big!

Dragon WIP

This will be epic! Cute eastern dragon in only cool colors. It's a challenge since I LOVE warm colors and it's hard for me to focus on cool color palletes.




Mr. Fox v.2 sold, and will be off to his new home next week. Sad to see him go, but I don't have the space to keep all my creations, sadly.
Yes, most of my projects are for sale. I like to make pre-made animals between commissions. Some orders I have to step away from if I get tired if staring at the same color for too long. I also use my spare projects to try new things and figure out new stitches and tecniques.

Well I'm off to bed now, good night!
