Green Bottle Book

It's safe to post these now, because the recipients of these particular things have already opened them. There's a flatback-bound book, with a hand-embroidered bottle on the front that I made for my dad. There's also my brother's felt hand-sewn dragon. Isn't he cute? I also crocheted a hedgehog for my mom, and I swear I took pictures, but they have disappeared. (Hint, hint, mom! I'm still waiting for all the pictures of the art you have, including the stuff I made for dad and Nate - I'm putting together a portfolio). :)

Sweater Monsters

These are Haruo's companions. Aren't they all so cute? The big one with the scarf is sold and shipped off to his new home. The little cat one is still on my etsy shop. Haruo I'm keeping because he's so special!

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.
