| Month of Softies! |

This is my contribution for this month's Month Of Softies! (which theme is recylced monsters) His brown body is made out of a brown washcloth, hid striped sides/mouth/and hair? is made from various baby clothes. The only thin not recycled was his felt eyes! I gave him to my nine year old who has quite a collection of monsters. (actually right now he is singing a song about monsters that he made up at the top of his lungs, very interesting stuff) After I made it, I kept thinking it reminded me of something. Then I realized what, this: http://jimwoodring.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/page1.html haha!
My nine year old is on spring break today (yup a one day spring break, weird huh?) So we went to the library and then made the clay that was on yesterday's list. Next we are making Shrek cupcakes (complete with squirt on green frosting, hmm) This morning before we went anywhere I silk-screened these:
As you can probably tell they are clouds. But they will have a hook to hang from, and raindrops coming out of them. Hard to imagine I guess, but I will finish one up today to post tomorrow. I have a bunch of screens made of faces I drew on the computer. For a long time I have been debating over the way I make the faces for my dolls. For one thing, its very time consuming, and also its hard to always get the cut circles to be "circle" and the same size. I've thought about silk-screening faces, but have yet to try any....baby steps!

Basically what they would look like. I promise I am not trying to be a big tease, but I am working on a bunch of stuff at once...so I won't have all these goodies updated for about a week or so, but maybe I'll try and finish up one thing at a time and update that way. Ugh who knows, my head is always spinning off onto my next idea before I can finish one thing. But, unlike the milk dolls and donut holes dolls (yeah the ones that never ever got done) I promise all this new stuff I keep showing will get finished!
Sorry for the not so great pictures, I hung this guy in my bathroom..... |
