Angel of Earth


This will become the second of those six angels I have planned to make. This one will be the angel of Earth, wild, untamed and dangerous.
To make him look the part I thought to use real fur for the hair and bought some sheepfur with really long tresses. It looks so good and wild and untamed and has never seen a brush or a comb. Perfect material I thought. But sadly, my friend who I make this angels for, is allergic to wool. So I had to search for different material for the hair.
See this? It is some longhaird mohair plush. I glued it to the head and used the glue and hairspray to style it. Not as good as the fur would have been, but it will do.


Close up of the face. I am afraid the mouth became a bit to feminin for a male angel. But his eyes shine really cool red with that glitter I used.

Golden Angel part three

These pics are taken with my new digicam and show the golden Angel in all his glory. Please note the details of the wings. The pattern was stitched with my sewing machine free hand.


Here you can see how the wings come out through slits in the back of the clothes. Theoretically you can undress him. But I wouldn't recomend it.
All that is missing his his bow and a quiver and arrows.
To be continued.

Inumimi


Now Inumimi has her own cardigan, it just took me a while to make one. Sadly the first one doesn't fit proberly, it is a bit to big for her. So I made another one.



The new one looks much better. It has an hole pattern which looks much nicer than the simple one of the first cardigan. The only thing missing are the buttons and buttonholes.
Isn't she looking cute?

Finished!

This is where I work on my dolls and other stuff. I have two huge tables, one for cutting the materials and the other one for my sewing machine and the overlook.

Digicam

Finally, I have a digicam of my own!!!!! What a difference it makes, just look at the pics. For the first time using my new digicam I am quite proud of them. Still have to get used to all those symbols in the display and figuring out how to use the flash and such, BUT, I have a new digicam!!!!

Shoulderanimal

Do you know Shoulderdragons? Well, this is a shoulderrat. It is made from grey fleece and her eyes are buttons. She is stuffed with a plastik granulate which gives her weight and still makes her flexible enough so that she can sit on the shoulder. I am looking for more ideas for shoulderanimals. Any suggestions?

Inumimi




Two cat-girls might be enough for the moment. Looking through various boxes of material I found this dalmatian fake fur and spontaniously desided to try making a Inumimi. Inu = Dog. See: she has dog ears.


It wasn't easy to attach the ears to the head this time, because the hair had to continue under the ears.




It is no problem with catears which are sitting lengthwise on the side of the head. But dogears are sitting in the other direction, across the side of the head.


So, when I would have first sewn the ears to the head, she would have been bald under the ears because the hair would have gone over the ears but not under them.

Therefore I first glued the hair to the head and then sew the ears on top of it.


I am busy and see, now Inumini has a white satin dress with lace at the seam and at the neckline. Sigh, I really really wish I had a better way to take pic expect the webcam...
