My New Plush

Alas, I have just finished a plush after taking a long hiatus from making things! This guy is a heart with a guitar. He is part of a series of 4 characters I am making-two of which I have already made. Here it is!

Summer=Things on Wheels

What I love about summer=bikes! I am also on the hunt for some vintage skates....

Kinderfluff Roller Skate!

My Favorite Person Biking Lake Michigan


Bike Plush by My Paper Crane

This picture is lovely and idyllic!

I just visited the darling town of Krems, Austria. It is an amazing bike city!

Topography Model

I finally got around to posting the pictures of my finished topography model. I am really proud of the end result. I can't even count how many hours this took me. I am guessing 50-100...maybe? Who knows. There was a lot of cutting and gluing involved. It started out as a model of the Mariana Trench, but its more of a topography tribute to the Mariana Trench. It was also used in the performance of Decline of Ballooning. Here are more pictures on my flickr.

New Little Guy

I just made this little guy...his name is Sticker!

Efterklang

I just found this video from the Danish band Efterklang. They make beautiful eerie music and costumes to match the sound. I really enjoyed their performance and especially liked the stage design. The stage background includes numerous spikey mountains. It reminds me of a Kinderfluff mountain toy I use for display.

Tiny Sleeping Bags:

WOW! I spent all day yesterday making these tiny sleeping bags to go with one of my monsters. Renegade Craft Fair is coming up this weekend, and of course I always put things off until the week before. I'm pretty proud that I finished 27 bags yesterday. Today I have been working on larger sleeping bags for the bigger monster of the same vein. Its hard to make them perfect, but I think that it is worth it in the end.

My Plush Roller Skate!

I am so excited I finally finished my latest project, my plush roller skate! I love the final results, the skate even fits on my foot. People keep asking if it really works, sadly it does not. Anyhow, the felt would wear away in a minute if I skated on it!!! I love roller skates and have been casually looking for an awesome vintage pair that fits me. I am reminded of a rad scene in the Great Muppet Caper where Miss Piggy's purse is stolen and she borrows someone's retro roller skates to chase after the thief.... Its so good!!!
