What...back to work on this, huh? Foot patterning is being overseen here....

This is the top collar, which required a lot of criss-crossed ribbon confusion just like the sleeves. Since the back will be covered by my hair, fur + the cape, I wasn't too concerned to have a bit of distortion on the intersections back there, and I just tried to concentrate on matching the front area to his desgin.

These are KnitPicks sock blanks that I grad-dip-dyed blue ombre to light blue... pattern is Waving Lace from Favorite Socks. (more knitting and sewing at www.polkadotoverload.com )

reversing the strips of micro-suede to give more dept for the lines rather than just top-stitching

Paracell v2 arrays cells along the guide splines using a user-defined spacing value. Earlier versions, like the one pictured here, arrayed cells based on the points of the guide spline. This proved very limited.

My Xmas gift to my sis-in-law!

I crocheted these leg warmers to look like boot tops. The idea is that the boots are knee-high and lined with black faux fur. Her actual winter boots are ankle height hiking boot style and are black with brown trim... soooo I made ;these black with brown trim.

The metal rings are split rings - the type you put your keys on. I just made sure that when I crocheted into them I worked stitches over the "break" in the splitring so you can't tell that's what they are!

The faux fur "lining" of the boot-tops is a row of hdc done in Bernat Boa yarn.

My own design, crocheted mostly in linked hdc using Red Heart Comfort.

Next to the magnetic blackboard wall. We're still going to put molding around the blackboard.

cutting out a bunch of particular slivers of foam (this would have been free0form normally, but I wanted the layers to mirror the other side.)

not sure about using vinyl here yet, but we'll see...

Keeps the whole thing together. Not as sturdy as I would like it to be, but the best I can do with my parts.

there are two "rooms" in the raw studio, this is the one with light -- it could definitely be just a playroom/fort for the kids

Really, it would have made total sense to make this out of black foam and black piping...instead of taking the time to paint it. I just didn't realize that I was planning on leaving this solid black and matte (probably) for the final piece.

In any case, this is a good example of how the Liquitex paint matches the really subtle sheen of the original foam (probably because they are both similiar plastics.)

Here are some random bits already formed and getting painted

I’m currently making two plush dolls for a special project, so I thought I’d share some in progress pics and talk about making them. :)

***PIC #1***

First I start out with a rough sketch of what I want to make. I already have an idea of what their personalities are like, and I try to bring that out in their expression, outfit, and overall look. My creative process is always evolving, and new decisions are made at every step that I could never have forseen with the initial sketch (later on you can see that I scrapped the dresses, and swapped the mouths).

Everything is messy. But we're working on it!! Colors are happening!

And curtains that I paid too much for at West Elm only to discover they're pretty low quality.

Started this like...before I lived with Saeru. That's like almost 2 years? (Not like I don't have even older projects than that. XD ) Anyway, here's a shot of the interesting bit, and what the fabric looked like pre-painting, but post-quilting.
