Valkyrie

This one is for a fabulous friend in Dallas! A mini-Valkyrie herself, and now she has a felt avatar!

Vikings!!

I just can't stop making these little guys, I just love them!!




This one is with a braided felt beard, I'm thinking of trying with three braids for the next one. Sheild on this one is a TRIUMPH!!

Black Beared Viking

Toady's project was a new viking!! This weekend was a good one for sewing.

I'm really happy with the beard, the pictures don't show it - but the beard is double layers. I picked up the charcoal felt and it made a fabulous belt. Also...puffy shield. YES!

This is for my co-worker, Lena!

Not for Shooting!

This is a gift for Scotty, his birthday is this weekend. I thought...what single, gun loving, dude can't use a nice throw pillow for his sofa??

I bought the pillow filler($6.55), Sew on snaps(4/$2.99 -used 2) and 1 yard of off-white broadcloth ($1.99/y) at Hobby Lobby.

I made a diaper kind of pillow case - the material is doubled. Stitched closed the one end, added the snaps to the top flap. More like an envelope I suppose. Then eyeballed and cut out the felt target ($0.25). Sewed it in place with some black thread, stuffed the pillow in ... Done.

I do love these kinds of gifts, about $10 of materials for this. Not too shabby, and really I enjoyed the hell out of making it. Best of all. He is going to LOVE it.

Viking

now with yarn beards!

Eric the Red

YAY Eric the Red! I still need to make a shield for this one - thinking the Viking checkerboard with hub in the middle, but not too sure yet.

I'm digging the beard on this one. Helmet not so great - wings are too thin and the stitching is too loose.

Tried out a couple different background - trying out my little camera to see what I can do.

Bloody Axe RAWR!!!!

No beans in the bottom of this one - the body was sewn quite some time ago and was just waiting for some embellishments! Finally done! :)

Poseidon

I've been inspired by the Percy Jackson book series... so here is my first of many Greek Gods to come. If you enjoyed the Harry Potter books, you will really enjoy these, or if you enjoy any fantasy type stuff.

This is my first doll that has a bean-bag bottom - for better standing. I joined a doll making club here in Houston "Material Girls" that meet once a month. After just one meeting I came away with some really great ideas and got to ask some interesting people questions. Not to mention see some really amazing dolls. I can not wait for the next meet!

I give you.... Poseidon


I should have done a back shot, to show how the toga wraps around. Might have to add that.

Gladiatrix

I was doing some cruising at the Hobby Lobby and found some really awesome gold thread. So this fine lady got to be my test for what it looked like. The shield is out of place, however I LOVED how the dragon head came out.

Spartan

This one was in the wake of 300....so my tribute to King Leonidas and Gerard Butler!!! Enjoy!


He resides on the desk of Trevor, a computer game designer friend. He gets no end of jelous looks from his co-workers!

Check out those abs! ha

More Vikings

A Ha! I found some more pictures of my vikings.

I just love the raven on the shield of this one. Not so happy with the helmet.

and the bloody axe on this one!! :) Helmet way better on this one.

Vikings

This is the last one of many little Vikings, my true passion, that is left. I've given them away to many friends over the last 2 years as they are made.


This one is my husbands, so is still hanging around the house. :) Hammer with anvil on Shield.

Ninja's

This is just one of the five or six of these same style bad boys that I also made as Christmas gifts for 2008. Black ones, red ones... all kinds. A veritable congregation of ninjas! This one has a throwing star.
