Scorpion!

This was for my good friend Lou, for his birthday earlier this month. He is a Scorpio and loves scorpions... so I had to do this.. and it was FUN!!

There is a pipecleaner sewed into the tail, so that it can be shaped a little! :)

Halloween Prep!

My pre-halloween projects!! SOCK SKELETONS! these were super fun and really simple. Cheap as chips as well. $12 for 24 socks! 2 socks a skeleton, easy!

with creepier lighting..... ooowwwwwwww

T-REX!!!

I have some vikings made and a Halloween treat! But first... back to the Jurassic! Dinosaur

Pegasus

Well...I really wanted more detail on the wings - but everything that I tired looked ... not right. So I just sewed them on and will come back to it... maybe! Other than that - I think he is fabulous!

I give you ....Pegasus!

Devil Dog

Totally forgot about this one!

For Celeste, she loves this kind of thing and for her birthday I sewed up a little "bad dog"! She and her husbands are stray rescuers and have a pack of dogs at home that typically number between 5 and 10! Plus the stray cats (3-5+)!



Celeste put this little guy up to chase away the bad thesis writing ju-ju! haha!

I almost gave up on this one part way through as I didn't think that it would turn out, but in the end it was great. I used the basic shape of the horse, added an up turned tail and "paws" where the hooves would be. The head was hard - but with the red inner mouth it gave it a good dog shape. The ears are back against the head - soyou can't see them. The teeth are embroidered in and the eyes are wooden beads.

This is from her IPhone - I totally forgot to take a picture before giving him to her.

Kitty

This was made for Jons wife, Laura, he wanted something cute and she loves cats so asked me to make something. This little guy has a magnet on the back!

Loved how the eyes came out.

Centaur

This was pure fun fun fun. Laura requested a centaur for her birthday and I thought about it for a couple days and then bingo bango... Horse body....Human attached!!

Free cut the horse sides out and then lay them out to help cut the underside. Leaving a v of material on each end to come together on the seem. Man bit was just like the others...only a little shorter.

The tail is yarn, used some thread wrapped around to keep it all tidy and standing up! Could have used a shield and a spear or something. ...Next time.

Murlocks

and now for something completely different.... These are little monsters from a computer MMORPG and were turned into birthday gifts for my computer gaming friends....

These ones I made a fast sketch and then just cut and sewed the body to see what happened. Worked out great.

Note to self: need to take better photos. Time to explore my camera.
