Scarves


Ok, so these are two scarves that I've worked on and finally finished. The long blue one is my favorite, took a long time, but stress relief is good. The models are my antiquish brandy set and a resin head on top of a jar. They were very cooperative. The multi colored one is really wide, and not long...have more yarn and am going to make it thinner and longer, but both should be very warm.

Theodora...a female troll



So I made a female troll. I didn't enjoy it as much as the male ones...breasts are hard to make look right. Anyways. She's got very orange/red hair and a bit of a smile. Yes, she's still naked, but I haven't figured out a good way of dressing them -- not a fan of the clay clothes on a moveable figure, and the cloth ones are hard to make so small. She's the same size as Squirt roughly. Anyways, she's still a little character. The smaller feet and hands are getting easier, too. That's about it.

Squirt the Troll



Here's a new troll, named Squirt, cause he's smaller than the others. He's about the size of an onion...fitting I suppose. The "clothing" is clay, the arms and legs are attached as with the others. I'm still not sold on the moveable arms and legs, but it's neat to have them move. I think I need to make a she-troll, cause all these guys are gettin a little lonely. Note to self, the clay is very fragile when it just comes out of the oven...don't touch...I broke his ear, and had to glue it back on...tsk tsk tsk.
