Craft Projects
I just know that there are lots of crafty folk here, so we should have a craft thread!I'll start us off with a crochet project I just completed. This is my "scary graveyard" scene. The base is made of...

Okay, well...it's been a year and today I took my entries to the Fair for the 2009 judging. This year I went on the first day (last year I went on the last day) and I have to say...it was so great!...

Indeed it is...it's good to have the occasional moment of total self validation. Because the giraffe is in the "home decor" section, that is considered a different "show"....there is potential to win...
View ArticleRe: Craft Projects
nope....the Giraffe took 2nd, the trees took 3rd, the doll clothes 4th...that's in 3 different divisions.
View ArticleRe: Craft Projects
Still a good showing for anyone, just getting to the finals is often beyond some folks means ( like me ).

Thank you. Last year I took "Best in Show" for needlework...I'd sort of hoped to repeat that. Ah, well...there's next year. I'm curious to see what beat my giraffe....that was one fine stuffed animal.
View ArticleRe: Craft Projects
Yes, so would I, and look around, maybe it is a trend! Would be nice to start something new again.

I'm going to bring my camera and take pictures of all the things that placed ahead of me. I do have a project started that I think has potential...it's a tree and cow in the snow...the tree is all...

Ok, the cow looks like a cow!! Yes that is good, when one stops and thinks about this, that is pretty awesome needle work.
View ArticleRe: Craft Projects
Yeah, it's always an issue....some animals need completion to come together and look right, but--maybe because of the spots?-- the cow head and cow legs (I have 2 done) look really good. I am taking a...

Interesting! I wonder how the iguana will take to "artifical vines".
View ArticleRe: Craft Projects
Well, I guess the vines were too smooth...the one chameleon that tried them slid rather spectacularly. So, I'm working on "knobby" vines at the moment...I'll replace the smooth ones when I get them...

Oh hay, here an idea. What about the stuff with Slubs, or make your own slubs, That would give them loops and fiber to hang on to with thier little toes.
View ArticleRe: Craft Projects
Slubs? TodayI saw the male climb up one of the vines I thought was too smooth...climb along the wooden "branch" I attached to the ceiling (it's a chopstick) and then use another "vine" to lower...

Slubs? Yay that is what you call the imperfections in raw silk threads. Raw silk is awesome stuff, and is so delicate to work with in fine threads. I used to buy shirts of Raw Silk (meaning not...
View ArticleRe: Craft Projects
oh...I get it. I actually have some thread that fits that description. As I type this...the male is sleeping clinging to one of the "vines" I made....

Ah see, there you go, it wold mimic the natural 'loops and hooks' in nature on some type of plants and skins, and allow better adherance. Now this is just guessing, it could turn out to be a big bust,...

Making up some "Fantasy Pistol" in gem colors; for the Dickens "Steam Punk Side" faire. I will try and get some photos, but for some reason, me-camaeras-photos-computers never seem to work; there is...
