Lady Rainicorn and a panda

I've hit the inevitable post-pumpkin slump, so been a bit quiet of late. But that mound of material totally obscuring my stairs to my bathroom isn't going to diminish itself, so I'd best roll my sleeves up soon.

In the meantime, here's a little lady rainicorm

And a panda. Because, why not.

Googly eyes

A couple of little googly eyed things I've been doing between pumpkin carving.

Mini dragon for Lucy, he has shiny wings, made from fantasy film. I don't think I like them as much as the usual ones.

Another one of these for Mike.

And while we are here, random conkers. The one on the left is shouting 'nooooo' with his mouth open. Giggle.

A gormless looking rabbit

A throwaway bit of stuff also made at the parents' house, this little bunny has tiny t-rex arms.
And giant bunny feet when he sits down.

Bunny heart cutie mark. Putting him against the wall and snapping his branded arse, I felt .. kind of dirty.

 

Trouble in dragon world! Mum and dad dragon are hanging out with their baby when a friend of the family turns up to say hi. Dad can't help but notice the remarkably similar colourings between his friend and his son. Suspicion is cast, like an abandoned handkerchief.

Look at that face, how could anyone mistrust him?
(This is a full sized green and red dragon requested by someone at work. Probably best that he is leaving the house, I think he has caused enough trouble as it is)

A whole family of dragons!

So, after finishing Wotsit I realised I had enjoyed myself far too much to stop. Felting is really addictive! So when I went to visit my parents last weekend I took some felt and my needles and pootled away at it in the evenings while we chatted. And now I have a little family.

Look at Wotsit and Doofer gazing fondly at their little baby dragon!

Baby dragon..

 Don't you just love it when they are at that toddling stage?

And here is daddy in all his splendour. Note he has side nostrils, one of the easiest ways to tell if your dragon is a boy or girl.

I love his ears.The trim on his wings is velvet, and the ears are made of the same velvet on the outside, and the dark green cotton on the inside.

Oh male dragons also have more pronounced paw markings than their lady counterparts, but usually you will only find that out if you are being trampled by one of them.

 I truly am a khaleesi now!

Just chilling out on a chinese jewellery box..

Wire armature soft sculpture dragon

I'm so proud of this little lady! I've been trying to do wire armature for a while now, believe it or not Tom the troll was my first attempt, and then a poorly executed stoned dragon before I finally realised something that I knew but I hadn't realised that I knew - namely that it works best needle felted (and that I should never again try and make faces from clay!)

So yeah,  she has wire in her body making her fully poseable. I wish I could do her justice with my poor camera abilities, but still think it looks pretty cool (if you will excuse a little big-headedness)


Please can I have a virgin to gnaw on? Pweease?

Playful dragon is playful

It may have started to become apparent to you but it would seem I subconsciously made her very dog like. In this pose she has just done something naughty and knows she is about to get told off. 

She has little red cheeks that haven't shown up that well in the photos but you can see them here.

Bum up in the air she is having a big yawn and a stretch here

Check out those needle sculpted eyebrows!

Ready for bed, with curled up tail and close furled wings.
Look at the little sculpted toesies! So happy with them!

By coaxing her onto her back with the promise of belly tickles, I managed to get this shot of her stomach.
