Felt Fob Friday - A power up star and some fluff


Someone on the internet pointed out real life should be like Mario, you get power up stars when you need them the most and when you are doing really well and winning at life they are few and far between. Sadly this is not how it happens.




The keyring didn't seem worthy enough to be a post on its own, so here's a purple fluffy keyring I made - it is terribly cute. The material is from some left overs from the mome rath outfit. He's got a little bobble nose!




Speaking of which I have finally got round to taking a photo of that. I did have a sign that I hung round my neck saying don't step on the mome raths in flowery writing, but that is down the pub now, so just imagine me wearing it.
Best news about this is that now I feel I can justify taking this outfit apart and reusing the material for all sorts of fun things. Perhaps more dragons and cthulhus may be in the mix!

For anyone not sure these are the mome raths. Obviously I went for a rough feel, rather than spot on representation of them. The most important part of the costume was my outgrabing.



The fur on the hood of this bad boy is 15cm long! It is so soft and floompfy. I wanted to show you how it sways and ripples at every movement, very much like long grass dancing on the breeze. It really is quite lovely.
This video ... really doesn't do it justice. I probably should have been slower and more gentle in my movement. It makes me laugh though.

Felt Fob Friday - Fox



Something I learned while making this smug little fox: in Japanese folk tales, leaves are important things for foxes. When a fox puts a leaf on the head and does a somersault, he can transform into anything. Upon learning this I meant to give him a little leaf on his head but I forgot.


And, in honour of shark week (aw, who am I kidding? In honour of Sharknado week, about which everyone at work has been terribly excited):
He looks a bit more like a whale, but you goes with the material at hand. This took under half an hour to make, so if I had the fleece and the inclination I would make a dozen of them and have a sharknado mobile..

Felt Fob Friday - Owl

Here's a little keyring I made while waiting for the Ocado delivery man. Owls are very 'in' at the moment, so I am trendy.
 


And if you need closure on the Ocado delivery story, the guy never came. Turns out I was 15 days too early. Oops.

Felt Fob Friday - guinea pig

Sorry, I know I promised you a post with the exciting big things I'd been working on, but my stupid camera deleted all the photos I took. Which is annoying but I'll not lose any sleep. So instead, you get a guinea pig keyring. Kind of just looks like a blob of fur, but now I think about it, that is what guinea pigs really look like. Fur with built in wheek! wheek! wheek! sounds.




I know better than to make promises for future posts, but I will just say that shark week is approaching and inspiring me a little.

Felt Fob Friday - cupcake

A little bit of sweet for today in the form of a pink frosted cupcake, with sprinkles and a cherry on top. Nom nom..
You very possibly can't see, but trust me that this is a keyring - it has the fob at the base of the cupcake.


Can't promise but there may be some exciting bigger things on here over the next week or so. Watch this space!

Felt Fob Friday - K9


This was supposed to be posted yesterday but it has taken me this long to work out how to post photos on blogger from this computer. It proved to be harder than expected.

I was planning to give K9 a neck, but that sort of thing usually makes the head wobbly and liable to fall off if tugged, so I didn't. But wish I had now.





View from the top

Also, as an apology for the post delay, a fluffy D20 dice, requested by Doug. I had more pictures to show the size etc but either I am looking in the wrong place or they have been sacrificied to the pixel god in the sky. I did point out to Doug that a plush D20 would be nothing other than a round ball but he didn't seem to mind. I don't think he is planning to play with it

Keyfob Friday - dog

I made two little keyrings for this week but one of them needs improving, so here's a little spotty puppy for you.




Too many puppies are getting shot in the dark. Too many puuuuppies

He has a spot over his eye and one brown ear. Woof.
