I have finally finished Scarlett and O’Hare. I had a few design problems with O’Hare, first I made his arms too long and club shaped, but drew and cut out new ones and I think he looks really cute. I also had to put two french knots in each ear to make them lay flat.
They are a cute pair!
I have made some progress on Scarlett’s dress, but I still have more to do on it before I am ready to list her.
I have some new ideas brewing around in my head, so I’ll start to sketch them and see where they go.
Halloween is a couple of months away, so I thought I would put up some critters from the past for you to see.
This is Frankie, made from green leather, he sold on e-bay in September of 2002.
This cute pair are Casper and Boo, made from Mohair and berber wool. They sold on e-bay in September 2004.
Meet Esmarelda and Slither, a couple of cute critters, made from moleskin and sold on e-bay in September 2004.
This is Gustave, made from recycled denim and sold on e-bay in October 2006. Just a walk down memory lane to revisit some of the past Halloween critters. I hope the future brings even more.
Madison is the new member of my family. My daughter rescued him after he was wounded by older cats. He is the most lovable kitty I have ever met.
How could you resist those eyes!
I am hard at work on a new teddy. I have sketched the design,drawn and cut out the pattern. I hand sewed Scarlett and started on her dress, but it hasn’t turned out as I expected.
I went shopping for buttons for Scarlett’s dress yesterday and spent a half hour trying to decide which ones I liked best, but now that I have sewn them on, I am once again unsure if they are just right. I have hand croceted the edging on her dress and also the straps.
I also made her companion, O’hare, but am having some problems with him. I drawn the patterns three time, cut it out and sewed it, but was not satisfied with the end result, so I redid it a fourth time, but now I am thinking of reworking his arms. I cannot decide which way to go from here. I returned to my sketch book and I am on track, so I hope it will all come together by the end of the week.
