Septaclops

 Remember the little hexablob I made? Dan didn't want me to sell him at the work Christmas craft fair of 2019 (in the before-times) so hexablob was liberated and now lives in our car. 
I decided that hexablob needs a girlfriend and Septaclops was born.

I'm particularly proud of her little teeth!

Okay, from his angle she looks rather lascivious and he looks terrified! But I like to think you can see how I have honed my craft over the years.

Ice skating bear

He doesn't have a large ice rink to skate in but that doesn't seem to bother him, he looks like he is having lots of fun

Little bear tail and... when will I learn to stop trying to knit things with cocktail sticks?!

I used liquid fimo for the ice which was interesting.

Pumpkin vamp-girl

 I made a little pigtailed vampire who has dressed up as a pumpkin for Halloween. 
(Even though we all know that vampires and other assorted monsters actually like to take the day off on Halloween. At least if Buffy is to be believed)

                                

Her hat is a pumpkin stalk. I kind of like to imagine she pulls her head down and curls up real small in her pumpkin. And then jumps out like this yelling 'surprise!' when you get too close.

Hand puppets!

I'm sure everyone, at some point during the pandemic, has had a "I have so much free time I need to learn to do x" period. For me it was puppets. I spent hours and hours watching puppet-making videos. I've made one proper puppet before and, deep down, I knew I wouldn't be making another. So I compromised and made two of the amazing Adam Kreutinger's snoofle puppets.

I'm not saying you have to have the sound on to watch this, but if you don't you'll miss me saying "your own grandmother would have your leg off for a 'teenth of self raising given 'alf the chance"
