Red Dragon

continuing work on the birthday Dragon, like all mythical beasts this one is taking what feels like ages to come to life. i'm getting closer and closer to the end of him. now i want to add a spine...oh well i'll get it done :) here are some teaser pics of the soon to be creature :D hope you like him as much as i do

Dragon Time (take 1)

Hello y'all Sometimes things take so much longer than i thought they would I've been working on the SAME creature for the last three weeks i wanted to have my dragon finished by yesterday so that i could bring him to The Ottawa Comic Convention but it was not to be. i ran into some problems one of the worst ones being that i broke his wing mid-construction. and then with being sick for some of the time. oh well that's something that happens sometimes.

here is a teaser of my newest creature

Restating the Restarting

I have decided to give my blog a face lift. i want to document some projects that I've been working on and some that i want to start I've been teaching myself to string joint and button joint my creatures I just finished stringing my latest critter, a buffalo. took more out of me than i thought it would. the buffalo was too tough, the needle went all the way through a book and then into my leg backwards. (note to self, Rubber mallet, sharper needles) I just re-conned a pair of jeans into a super cute twirly knee length skirt. and i drafted the pattern for my birthday present, i decided that i wanted a pet shoulder dragon. he will have movable limbs and fold-able wings. oh ya! and I'm trying to decide if its cheating to use the sewing machine :) i also have two kids birthdays coming up, one wants an X-box playing sock monkey. and for the other I'm not too sure yet...but the hamster is turning...the idea shall be sparked.

todays horoscope

Nothing will come easily to you, no matter how hard you try. You can't even toast a darn bagel without burning it. Just accept the fact that your life is like a broken escalator for the time being. You're gonna have to suck is up and use the stairs.

well this feels apt today.
