Hello foxy squatch!

Today was a non-sewing day, as I am feeling a bit under the weather...

The mini photo-shooting session with the Foxsquatches cheered me up a bit. These foxy little sasquatches struck their foxiest poses for me so they can be listed up on my Etsy shop. 

Tomorrow I may even attempt working on my website!!!! ( have you noticed I have not come up with any new years resolutions this year?? ).  Let's see if this will be the year I finish my website...

Happy 2016!

Arrrrgh!!! I have once again fallen so behind on my blog posting!
I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year ( even though now it's February...)

So much as happened since my last post!

The biggest news last year, is that me and Francesco married! I would like to share some photos of the all the preparations and photos of our special day but will save that for another post. :)

And the works on our house is still on going... Dont' ask...

So...this first post, for the new year, is about a group I am part of. It's called the Crafthulhu Collective. Each month, a member of the group chooses a theme and we then make something in our own style.

This month's Theme is Circus, selected by Angel (from Saint Angel Productions) and what a great theme it is! So many wonderful makes!

Do go say hi, if you do not know them already. They are a super friendly bunch with wacky imaginations.

There were a ton of ideas I wanted to implement! I LOVE CIRCUS!!! Choices.. choices!! It was almost impossible to choose... I grabbed my poi, swung them around and my mind was made up!

I love poi. A character with pose-able arms and legs was required for poi-ing and this was a good opportunity to try something new.

So I began making a character had a little wire skeleton.

The wire skeleton

All ready for posing

All ready for action!

I made her a dress and a little jacket to keep her warm.

Tying out tricks

But, for the final touch...she needed her furry balls to be on fire!
Using photoshop, I did some rough passes and painted in some fire trails.

The final images

Whooooosh... swoooosh...whoooooosh! Now I am itching to do fire poi again!


I will try my best to keep up to date with my blogging and do some catching up too. Hopefully, my next one won't be in February 2017!
