I made the bow tie like a regular collar, then added the bow tie later. I figured I could make a bunch of bow ties and then change them out.( only problem is I need to make a new collar since he is getting big fast:))

I tried to find the pattern but couldnt so you might want to google it I think It was Martha stewart, so might want to check there

well hope you all like it:)

i made another doll in response to all the great comments i got on my toothache yetti:) i hope you all enjoy!!













the face, hands, and body were done by me and the feet were done by my DH

i couldnt get a really good action shot but the arms and feet rotate..........(YAY i learned something new...lol)

anyway, thank you for looking and i hope you all enjoy!

comments and criticism are greatly aprechiated:)

i originally started this doll b/c i have a tooth infection and thought that if i crafted my pain into something that i wouldnt feel so bad. after a couple of days it created a life of its own and turned into something completely different. well here he is:












the hands and feet look kinda weird b/c the ended up burning and bubbling up on me but im pretty pleased with how they turned out just the same.

anyway, hope you all enjoy it and i would love any comments:)

i made this awhile back and thought i would post it now. its body is made with felt and a feather boa thing. the face is hand molded and hand painted with poly clay.

hope you guys like him. many comments appreciated:)

ive been working with clay for a couple of days and made two faces. well the two faces had to go somewhere so with out further babble heres fat eskimo and the infamous hooded sloth:

the fat eskimo is made with felt and has movable legs.......my cat has a strang fasination with his legs









the infamous hooded sloth is made with felt and has movable arms. he loves the light so he is often found hanging around lamps(he is ashamed of this so refuses to be photographed there)





both have hand made faces that are painted with acrylic and brushed with pastels

hope you all like em.
