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.

New troll

Ok, so it finally let me post another picture...I think it's more my internet than the site, but oh well. So this is a new troll, he's a big bigger than the first one, it made the fingers and toes easier. He's a troll, so he's supposed to be sorta ugly, but the eyes don't look right, one is sorta lower than the other, but it worked for Shannon Doherty, so I went with it. I'm really gonna have to start naming these guys. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to attach the arms and legs to the body. This guy has copper wire, and I coiled the ends. I tried using buttons, but they didn't look right. The head swivels a bit, too, which is kinda neat. I'm wondering if it's worth the posability or if I should just make them solid. I like the idea that he can move, maybe not the head as much, cause that's a bit dangerous, I keep on thinking somethings gonna break (it's just a ball in socket joint). Maybe I'll joint the elbows too and make sorta a marionette type guy, just for fun. I don't know what I'm gonna do about clothes yet, for now he's just a la natural.

Decent Troll

Ok, so now the troll has clothes and is somewhat presentable... as trolls go anyways. I really like this guy, think I'm gonna try him again, the face was fun, and you can change it a lot. the clothes were just thrown together from scraps. I still think he resembles Patrick Stewart for some reason... might just be the bald head and big nose.

The Naked Troll

The troll is getting there. He's got hair (even on his chest!) His arms are joined via wire through the torso as are the legs. Hands and Feet are very difficult...stupid fingers and toes.

Cap'n PiTroll

Troll...sorta looks like Patrick Stewart...in process.
