Trick Or Treat Wolf







For the Halloween Micro gallery show, I made this little trick or treat wolf. He actually turned out looking more like a fox, but he's supposed to be a wolf.
He's about 6 inches tall, made completely out of needle felted wool, and has a small wire running through his tail to help him stand.
This photo has a cloth scarf, but the finished piece has a black scarf that I knitted with toothpicks and embroidery floss. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of it yet.
The money they made from the show was donated to charity.

The next show will be winter themed. I don't know what I'll make for that yet.

Feelin' Chunky


Dear Quatty,
I'm wearing a thick knitted sweater today and I feel like a ball of yarn.

Micro Gallery

At work we had our first micro gallery show, set up at the end of one of the halls. Everyone was invited to do an alcohol themed piece no larger than 6 x 6. The purpose was to raise money for a portable bar.
This is a slanted poor quality photo of my framed piece.

Watercolor, ink and collage.

It's hard to see in the photo but the plastic around the bird's neck is real plastic.

Narrow streets

I was walking the other day and there was this huge crow walking in front of me. It kept looking back at me and hopping forward as though I were some creep. I tried to walk slower so it would see we just happened to be walking in the same direction. I realized it was silly to be concerned with what the crow thought of me, but it was a scary bird.
