Harolds Happy!

PLEASE HELP Harold TO ANNIHILATE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

Thank you for everyone's prayers for the MS ride. Great weather and a great day/s was had by all!!! As a team we came close to $10,000 but checks are still being processed so maybe we will get there. We have till the end of the month still.

My buddy Harold told me he needed horns for his riding team.

They are the RAMS - Riders for the Annihilation of M.S.

 The horns stay on with velcro underneath...

 and they can be worn in different sets of holes.

When Harold figures out where he wants them he can snip the velcro shorter!

Thanks for the challenge Harold they are my gift to the team!

Harolds Horns

I was skeptical...

but it worked! By the way he wanted ears too.

I pick up the helmet on Sunday. Then we'll deal with making them stay put!

Horns For Harold

I'm commissioned to make ram horns for a bike helmet. They're to stay on at high speed and they're not to poke anybody. We'll see how it goes, any ideas???

From This To This

It's an honor when someone asks you to recreate their deceased pet. All you can hope is that you get it right!

Sir Sleepy's New Clothes

It's been almost a year but I'm so happy to present Sir Sleepy.

This was my first Esty custom order.

Here's a link to how it all came together. Thanks for sending these wonderful pictures Lorraine!

In Loving Memory of a Tiny Angel

Don't let me touch her any more!!! I did figure out a cool way to attach whiskers. I'm glad I have jewelry supplies around. Plastic coated stranded wire and crimps. I'm just glad it worked.

Special Commission

I'm all cut out for my next project. A lot of it I'll need to hand sew. This face pattern is especially hard (see white kitty).

This project calls for long white mohair and lots of extra love and care. I'll show you how she turns out.

Completed!

What a handsome bunny!

I sure hope Mr. Bunny likes his new suit.

Couple More Things

Sweater's done.

Collared shirt needs buttons.

And the bow tie needs a strap. Don't worry, my dummy bunny's arms don't exactly represent Mr. Bunny's. I'm almost there!

Coming Along

Well, I taught myself a new trick when I finished the collar and the sleeve worked out the first time! It looks like I may even finish the sweater today. That means I'll have to get back to work on the shirt. Sleeves, yikes!

Cool Commission

Please meet Mr. Bunny, he's my newest project. I don't have his physical presence but he's always on my desktop waiting for me. I have been commissioned to make Mr. Bunny a new set of clothes. His owner wanted a change, something elegant but comfortable. I'm thinking something like Liberachi meets Mr. Rodgers! I happen to love Mr. Rodgers by the way.

So, with his owners blessing, I went to the fabric store and rooted around. These are the things I came up with. Mr. Bunny will be needing a fancy pair of pants and bow tie, thus the brocade. He'll need a nice neutral collared shirt, the light gray cotton and blue buttons. And a comfy cardigan, Vanna's Denim Mist and Beatrix Potter buttons.

I got started on his pants because I felt that the brocade would be a challenge, it was! Oh, meet Mr. Dummy Bunny, he helps me out with fittings.

Here's where I am on the shirt. I'm a little concerned about the length of the arms. Oh, by the way it took me 2 tries at the pants and shirt, second times the charm!

Even the sweater I wound up needing to pull out today and start over. I'm pecking away and learning a lot. Remember, I give instructions for an simple bear sweater under my bear clothes category. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks Lorraine!
