Its amazing what inspires us to new creations.
A while back, we found this adorable rubber stamp in the sale bin at our local craft store.
Now I'm not much into the big "stamping" craze that has blown through of late, but we always look in the sale bins because sometimes there is something that DH can use to texture the silver clay.
Or, something just grabs us, as this one did.
and this is what it inspired!
Isn't this ADORABLE!!!
Ralph the Mouse is 6 inches tall (6 1/2 to the top of his ears).
He is made of German mohair in two colors. He is fully jointed, has glass eyes with wool felt "whites" behind them. His tail has a wire in it so it can be positioned. And he has large enough feet that he stands well on his own.
This little creation was designed and sewn by DH!! I did the finishing work only.
I love it!!
Progress is being made on the other projects too.
I have almost all of the edges done on the "holes" in the butterfly necklace and should be starting on the fringing today.
The top of the egg is almost complete (I admit to having to use a bit of self discipline to work on this since it is now at the "boring all one color" stage)
Last night I knit a scarf for the penguin that is almost finished, so as soon as I put eyes on the bird and fringe on the scarf that piece will be done too.
11 of the footballs are done!! moving right along
time to get busy
