12  TOYS, DOLLS AND PLAYTHINGS / Toys, Dolls and Playthings: Completed Projects / A Mini Invasion of Glove Monsters on: January 04, 2013 08:38:15 PM


My studio seems to have attracted an invasion of glove monsters.
It all started innocently enough...

About a month ago, this little guy showed up.


He seemed sweet and huggable. How could I say no to him?

I thought I was safe...until today.
Three more appeared today.









All four of them were terribly hyper cooped up in the house, so I took them outside to play together (and hopefully wear them out!).



Now I'm afraid to see what next month will bring...

The glove monsters are all about 6 and a half inches tall, and 5 and a half inches wide (counting their arms).
They were each made from a single glove.
Their faces were painted by me using acrylic paint and sealed with a matte varnish.

I've been having way too much fun playing with these little guys...and I unfortunately have quite an impressive supply of gloves to create more with.  Grin

Ty so much Smiley i've been afraid to try anything with fear of messing something up lol, it's all new to me .  Happy New Year to you as well.

No problem! I was pretty afraid to use it at first too. I'd suggest doing what I did first though. I took a piece of my fabric and just painted it a little bit (just some simple shading), and put the varnish over that to see what it would look like before using it on one of my doll faces. I would've been pretty crushed if it had messed up a doll!

Hey there!  Love your dolls, they are adorable! Smiley.  What brand matte finish do you use?  I paint w/watercolors on fabric but haven't sealed them.  Merry Christmas!

Thanks, buffalogirl! Hope you had a merry Christmas...and happy new year!
I use the Liquitex matte varnish. Smiley

Thanks, MommaAquaheart!
I know what you mean. My three year old makes a similar face, and it is pretty darn cute. Wink
