That looks SO great! Fantastic way to reuse the sweater. It's always tough to make a loved clothing item BIGGER rather than smaller, so it's nice to see a creative new take on how to do that!

Yes please, this would be nice for the doldrums of winter!

Oh Platypus, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. My cousin took his own life a few years back, and I'm still getting over it. *hugs*

Wow great job Tweaq!

Okay kids, Smashu is super-busy with a burlesque show so I'm posting a few pics of her swap package. Hopefully she can model the pasties for us later, rawr!!!


Here is most of the swap package, except the embroidery: A pirate hat with a boa, pirate pasties, matching eye patch, and jurassic park pasties. Please ignore the cluttered desk, I took these at work.


Pasties and eyepatch. Sorry for the bad lighting, courtesy of my desk.


Scaly pasties for the Jurassic Park show.


This is the embroidery. It's meant to be a wall-hanging, the fabric is actually stretched over a sticky posterboard thing. I know the photo is dark, and this is after lightening it in picnik! LOL!


Here's a closeup of the dancer. I'm so proud of how she turned out! Many of you will recognize that she's a Sublime Stitching pattern, I'm sure.

Well hopefully Miss Smashu will be able to post better "action" shots of these items soon...

Thanks for looking!

OMG that Dr. Orpheus is AMAZING!!!! 

I am a lucky panda and even though I'm waaaay behind on my crafting, The Platypus Project went ahead and sent me my swap package. I cannot tell you how excited I was when I received it--I was squealing so much my coworkers (I have my swap packages sent to my work) came to check on me. LOL


Even the packaging was cute! And tarepanda candy! YEAH!!!


Shrinky necklaces!


Naturally the Brock necklace is my fave *swoon*


Phantom Limb on a purse!!! The embroidery is awesome!


Didn't I say it was awesome?!!! I would totally date Phantom Limb. He really knows how to treat an arch-villainess.


This is a skirt, with a painting of Brock and Molotov, my favorite love-interests. Tomorrow I will be able to have someone take a pic of me wearing it. It's quite possibly my favorite thing in the whole package...if I had to pick a favorite. Which would be hard.


T-shirt top...


T-shirt bottom. The fabric paint looks great Platypus!! Once again I need to get a pic of me wearing this stuff. I hope I get to go to a convention of some sort this summer so I can show off my awesome Grand Galactic Inquisitor shirt.


And there was a tarepanda pin in the bag of candy. Soooo cuuuuuute.

Gah so much awesome stuff! THanks Platy, I am working on your stuff this weekend and it's going to be hard to send you a package as amazing as the one you sent me!!!

Smashu....you better! LOL! rawr!!!

sweetbettieleigh you got some amazing stuff!!!! The reversible cuffs and spats are so clever!!

oh snap! Next round I want bloomers! 

Wow, some beautiful items! Especially all the hats and fascinators! But I want someone to model their pasties....LOL 

Oh no, that's too bad Maehem. Well, I'm sure midnight will either find you an angel or angel it herself. Did you send already?!
