Seeing Faces ...

I love seeing a new creature come to life...



Adding the tints with copic-markers is one of my favourite parts of the process!

Rat Head Gets Lower Jaw - Finally!

i have layered and bent three pieces of foam to try and create a bit of a smile for the rat head ...

a new craft project ....

i have two projects on the go at the moment, neither of them are soft toys, but both of them use lovely long fluffy white fuax fur..

here are some WIP pics for one of the projects -
a quick sketch to help me place signiicant features ...



this pattern piece is a strange shape, and here i have fitted a loop of faux suede
fabric with two strong D-rings ...



i have been very carefully scissor sculpting an area in the middle of this piece of fur ... it is secured inside a large embroidery hoop.



these look like ears, of course !



and here are the inside and outsides of the back of this piece ...



what am i making?
