Hats for Sale!

Here's some pics of the hats that I have for sale at Mountainworks. Yay! The closeup of the tag is made of Shrinky Dink plastic, my new favorite toy. Isn't the bunny butt cute? It's a stamp I have. Hopefully I'll be able to make myself a hat soon, because all of the ones I've made so far I've put in the shop. Oh, well. The life of a crafter.

Haruo

This is my first 'sweater monster'. Isn't he cute? His name is Haruo, which means 'springtime man' in Japanese.

YARN!!!!

This is my first handspun ball of yarn. It's bright purple, of course. I spun it with a hand spindle, from store-bought roving. Someday I'd like to have my own rabbits to harvest it from, and hand-dye it and everything, but for now I suppose that I'll have to stick to the stuff from the store. :)

Annette and Lizza

Finally, a new post! Sorry to any loyal fans out there, however few there may be. :)
These are two dolls that I've recently made. Annette has the brown crinkly hair, and Lizza is the blonde. Annette was made first, and I embroidered her face, which took forever, so I painted Lizza's face to see if I liked it better. I don't, but that's okay. They're both cute. I plan to do more manga-style dolls soon.

Angel Box

This is a metal file box that I found at DI. I didn't do much to it, just decoupaged a few things on the front. I really like how it turned out. I'm not sure what I'm going to keep in it. Any ideas?

Watercolors

These are a few watercolors that I played with at work. It was a lot of fun. I'm trying to become better at things like painting and drawing. Watercolors are very interesting.

A Tea Tray

This was put together using matching plates and matching cups. I got the idea somewhere online, but I haven't had the chance to use the one I made yet. It's perfect for serving up little cookies or other yummy things.

A Very Shy Bunny

These are a few of my first attempts at making stuffed animals. I'm still working on what works best, and some things don't work well at all. They're all cute enough, in their own way, but I still haven't hit upon the magic combination of the right pattern, cloth, filling, and face. The first two are cats, but the second one doesn't have a tail, just a little shirt. The third is perhaps my most successful so far, but he's very shy. He doesn't think that he came out right at all, so he likes to hide in the shadows. His ears are adorable, though.
